Can McDonald's reprint a receipt?

In many cases yes — bring the card you paid with and the approximate date to the customer-service desk, and staff can often locate the transaction in the register system. Orders placed in the McDonald's app are stored under Recent Orders with full receipts; counter purchases exist only on paper and your card statement. Reprint availability and time limits depend on the store's point-of-sale system, so the sooner you ask after the purchase, the better.

Is it legal to recreate a McDonald's receipt?

Recreating a receipt for a real purchase — for your records, an expense report or replacing a lost copy — is legitimate. Using a fabricated receipt to deceive anyone is not.
