Bates numbers are unique numbers or unique identifiers assigned during document scanning. These are required for all documents used in US litigation. Historically, the process was done with a “Bates” brand stamper, and these numbers are still usually called Bates numbers within the US. Bates numbers are used to access the scanned document images from document management systems. DCS can provide document scanning services that comply with the requirements for US litigation.
