Material alterations in a negotiable instrument are alterations on the face of the instrument altering how the instrument is paid or negotiated, and to whom negotiated. A material alteration to a negotiable instrument could also be the entry of a court order regarding the instrument that changes these aspects of the instrument.

Generally, the laws affecting negotiable instruments are:

(1) the provisions of Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in State statute; and,

(2) the common law interpreting the statutes; and,

(3) common-law principles as to negotiable instruments exclusive of Article 3 of the UCC, if allowed for in State statute.
