How do you cash a check made out to you?

In: Banking [Edit categories]

Answer:

UM duh.. you go to the bank listed on the check. Make sure you have a valid picture ID. Sign the back of the check and cash it. Do not sign the check til you get to the bank; because if you lose the check someone can sign their name under it and deposit it into their own account, Unless you have plenty of money to lose and then by all means; sign the back before you get to the bank.
