Endorsement Irregular - Irregular Endorsement - Checks can be returned for irregular endorsement when there is a problem with the endorsement such as a signature mis-match, account number problem or if the endorsement cannot be read. 

Checks can also be returned for irregular endorsement if the endorsement goes below the like that says,    "Do not endorse or write below this line." 

 

If your check is returned for irregular endorsement, you may be able to re-endorse the check so that the bank will accept it.

In some cases, you may want to go into the bank and work with a teller or bank manager to ensure the endorsement is acceptable when you try to re-deposit the item.
