Definition: A Bates number is a unique number that is added to a document or its pages to identify it. It is named after the machine made by the Bates Manufacturing Company that stamps the number. Bates numbers are commonly used to identify documents during legal proceedings.

A Bates number, also known as a Bates-stamp number, is a unique identifying number that is assigned to a document or individual pages of a document. The number is usually used to identify documents produced during discovery.

The term "Bates" comes from the name of a company that made a self-advancing stamp machine used to apply the numbers to documents.
