Mailing a Check Through the Mail

While you may think that mailing a check through the mail is a safe and convenient way to send money to someone, there are a few things you should do to make sure the check arrives safely. Mailing the check through the mail requires special handling, and you should consider using certified mail to protect it during transit. In addition, it's best to drop the check off at your local post office or in a collection box.



You can also send checks through the mail through certified mail, which is similar to regular letters. This type of mail is the safest way to send a check, since there is zero chance of misplacing or stealing the check. If you need a check quickly, it's a good idea to mail it through the certified mail option, which provides a mailing receipt and electronic verification of delivery.


Before mailing the check, make sure you do not write the Social Security number on it. The Social Security number is highly identifiable, and a crook can use this information to steal your identity and compromise your financial accounts. You should also sign your check with your full name, not partial. If you're unsure, ask the person or organization that sent the check to you to make sure it is legitimate.


In addition to using a secure service to mail a check, you should make sure you keep track of your bank account. Missing a check can result in many time-consuming problems. Also, the bank account number is on the check, so you should monitor it closely. If a check does get lost, you will be reimbursed if it is returned to you.
