What type of information is typically obtained from a check negotiated by a subject?

The name of the payee is typically obtained from a check that has been negotiated by a subject because this information is explicitly stated on the check. The payee is the individual or entity to whom the check is written and who has the right to deposit or cash it. This information is essential for identifying who received payment and can be critical in investigations related to fraud or financial transactions.

While bank account details may be accessible through bank records or statements resulting from the transaction involving the check, they are not directly found on the check itself. Transaction history typically refers to past activities associated with a particular account and would not be listed on an individual check. Legal documentation, such as contracts or agreements, is also not typically found on a check and usually requires separate records to be validated. Therefore, the name of the payee is the most relevant and easily identifiable information obtained directly from a negotiated check.
