could have your parents add you onto their bank account, and cash it there for free....

anywhere else you're gonna have to pay to do so.... (setting up your own bank account isn't really worth it to cash one single check)

just as long as you have state id (i think school id's can work too for soem places) but no yo udon't have to be 18
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . Question? Do you have to be 18 to cash a check written in your name. I'm only 16 and I sold a few things online and i'm receiving payment by check for an item and I want to cash it myself, so I don't have to hassle my parents... So do you have to be 18? Rating: 5
