R13. Can receipts have a facsimile signature?

Short answer

Yes, under certain circumstances.

Receipts can have a facsimile signature if they are:

• imprinted distinctly—usually by a commercial printer—with the name, address, and BN/registration number of the charity;
  

  and

• serially numbered by a printing press or numbering machine;

All unused receipt forms must be kept at the charity’s Canadian address, as recorded with the Canada Revenue Agency.
