How can I cash a check written in my maiden name?

Steps:

  1. Check your identification: Ensure you have a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, that matches your maiden name.
  2. Endorse the check: Sign the back of the check with your current signature and write "For deposit only" below your signature.
  3. Visit your bank or other financial institution: Bring the endorsed check and your ID to your bank or credit union.
  4. Provide proof of your maiden name: This can be a marriage license, divorce decree, or other legal document that shows you legally changed your name.
  5. Deposit or cash the check: The bank will verify your identity and the validity of the check before allowing you to deposit or cash it.

Tips:

  • Most banks will require you to open an account in your maiden name to cash a check written in that name.
  • If you have an existing account in your married name, you may be able to cash the check after providing proof of your maiden name.
  • If you have trouble cashing the check, contact the person who wrote it and request they write a new one in your current name.
