How to Deposit a Third-Party Check
- 1). Inspect the check before signing and accepting it. The original payee's name should match on both the front and back of the check. The words "pay to the order of:", followed by your name, should be written on the back of the check; the original payee signs below your name.
- 2). Endorse the back of the check below the original payee's signature and above the endorsement boundary line.
- 3). Take the check and your personal ID to your bank and deposit the check.
