The principles stated in Section 3-110 apply to special indorsements.\n(b) If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument and it is not a special indorsement, it is a \"blank indorsement.\" When indorsed in blank, an instrument becomes payable to bearer and may be negotiated by transfer of possession alone until specially indorsed.\n(c) The holder may convert a blank indorsement that consists only of a signature into a special indorsement by writing, above the signature of the indorser, words identifying the person to whom the instrument is made payable.\n(d) \"Anomalous indorsement\" means an indorsement made by a person who is not the holder of the instrument. An anomalous indorsement does not affect the manner in which the instrument may be negotiated.","path":["Title XXXIV-A: UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE","Chapter Part 2: Negotiation, Transfer and Indorsement"],"source_url":"https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/XXXIV-A/382-A/382-A-3-205.htm","current_through":"2025 regular legislative session, or December 2025","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T15:43:59Z","sha256":"1e57bd95de4f6de8fa928840578f37288eea892ca931cbfce0b0b5365b7237ee","source_id":"us-nh","stale":false,"prev":"us-nh/rsa-382-a-3-204","next":"us-nh/rsa-382-a-3-206"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
