A change in the date format that can possibly save you from a fraud
We all use the DD/MM/YY date format for almost all of our documents. This is because it is acceptable in most informal situations and doesn’t pose any threat or issues to us. For this reason, it is essential to use correct date formats for legal documents or other documents that someone with malicious intent can use against you if provided with an opportunity.
It is advised to use the DD/MM/YYYY formats for legal documents to avoid any form of discrepancies. Using the YY format makes it easy to manipulate the data as 20 can be rewritten by someone as 2019, for example. This advice is handy in most formal situations where a minor change in the data can result in major problems for the individual.
