Allonge: a separate sheet of paper attached to a legal document, such as a promissory note, to provide additional space for endorsements or amendments. It is used when there is not enough space on the original document for all necessary signatures or changes.
An allonge is a legal document that is attached to a negotiable instrument, such as a promissory note or a bill of exchange, to add additional terms or endorsements. It is used when there is not enough space on the original document to include all the necessary information. An allonge must be signed by the person who is endorsing or transferring the instrument and must be attached to the original document. It is considered part of the original document and is subject to the same legal requirements and protections. Allonges are commonly used in commercial transactions and are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code.
