In the context of law enforcement, a yellow paper is a document issued by a police officer to a person who has been arrested or detained. It is also called a police caution or a rights waiver form. The purpose of the yellow paper is to inform the person of their rights and to obtain their consent to being interviewed by the police.

The use of yellow paper for this purpose is not universal, and its name may vary in different jurisdictions. For example, in some places it may be referred to as a "caution notice" or a "rights advice form".
The specific content of a yellow paper may vary depending on local laws and practices, but it typically includes the following information:
* The person's name and address
* The date and time of the arrest or detention
* The reason for the arrest or detention
* The person's rights, including the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the right to a fair trial
