Received stamp
A stamp marking that a document arrived, and when.
Usually reads RECEIVED with a date, often a time, and sometimes a reference number or the receiving department.
Its value is entirely in the date being the day of receipt rather than the day the stamp was made, which is the argument for a date that fills itself in.
