What party may request certification of a check?
919984
A "certified check" is a check that is issued by a Bank.  The person who wants to sent a "certified check" has to go to a bank, provide the bank with "cash" for the value of the check and usually pay the bank a small fee, and the bank will issue a "certified check".  The ceritfied check is basically the same a cash, there is no issue about "sufficient funds" since the value for the certifed check is paid to the bank in cash prior to the issue of the certifed check.

Often these kinds of things have print on the check saying that if you endorse this check you agree to xyz.. Read it carefully.

As long as the check was legitimate and not fraudulently endorsed, you should be OK.  Stop Payments will prevent the check from clearing, but you've noted that the check already cleared. \n\nWhy are you worried?

Qoute:\n\nWhat is the difference between a Cashiers Check and a Certified  Check?\n\nCashiers Check: A check issued in any amount that has to be made payable to a specific party, not cash. It is an official bank check, drawn on the bank.\n\nCertified Check: A check written on the customers account, funds are certified as available and are legal liabilities of the bank. Funds are withdrawn from customers account and placed in a special bank account for payment. Certification transforms the original order to pay into the bank's promise to pay.\n\nend qoute

One obvious weakness would be having the same person who approves the purchase be the one who cuts the check. You need to have a separation of duties.

It usually depends if your bank has that program. Most small town banks wont but banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Wachovia Securities and Washington Mutual will all have that package to where you can view an image of the actual check.

You could call the bank it was issued from, give them the check number & account number, and ask them to "verify funds".

Technically, no. A check is a form of commercial paper and signing it should be done by the person who is named unless that person has granted the other person a power of attorney which includes the right to sign for him/her as his/her attorney-in-fact.\n\nThe fact that the other people answering have done so is not an indication that it is legal, or even correct, but more an indication that their significant other/spouse was not going to challenge them in court over it. But that could happen if things ever got ugly and then signing someone else's name would be forgery and both the bank who accepted it and the forger would be in trouble.\n\nThis all is only true if a  check is made out to you AND your spouse. If it is made out to you OR your spouse or doesn't say anything just your two names then only one of you has to sign at all.

Here is procedure to print checks\n\nBegin a new transaction or edit an existing one. \nIn the Number box, select Print this transaction, and then click Enter. \nIf you want to include the payee's address information on the printed check, enter it in the Print Address window. \nClick OK. \nUnder To Do in the left pane, click Print checks. \nSelect the options you want, and then click Print. \n\nHere you can get more details\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/money/support/manual/money04/ch6p5.asp\n\n\n\nAlso see this\n\nPrinting Checks Can Result in Duplicate Check Numbers\n\nSYMPTOMS\nAfter you print checks in Microsoft Money, you may discover duplicate check numbers when there were no duplicates before printing the checks. \n Back to the top \n\nCAUSE\nWhen you set up Money to print checks, you enter the word PRINT in the check number field to flag the checks for printing. However, duplicate check numbers can be generated if you specify a check number to start printing checks that contains a check number that is not flagged to be printed. \n Back to the top \n\nExample\nLet's say you enter checks 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106 in the register. By changing the number in the NUM field to the word PRINT, checks 102, 104, and 105 are selected to be printed, \n\nIn addition, you specify a starting number of 102 to begin printing checks. After the checks are printed, Money replaces the PRINT notation in the check number with the actual number of the check on which it was printed. \n\nThis results in the following register entries: \n100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 103, 104\n Back to the top \n\nExplanation\n• Check 102 was to be printed, and it was the first # to be printed. \n• Check 104 was next to be printed, and it printed to check 103 (there was already a check 103, so there are now duplicate 103s). \n• Check 105 was next to be printed, and it printed to check 104 (there was already a check 104 so there are now duplicate 104s).  \n\nWORKAROUND\nWhen you enter checks in the register, do not assign them check numbers. Money will automatically assign them the correct numbers on printing. \n\nhttp://www.kbalertz.com/kb_Q76652.aspx#appliesto

You should contact the issuer (whether it's the result of a federal refund or a state refund) to find out whether they can issue a new check.

I know that this was the case in Canada and possibly other Commonwealth countries but I'm not sure it applied everywhere. The most official place to check would be the Bank Act (the federal legislation that sets up banking and establishes the standards that must be met).  If it is on line it will be linkable from the federal website.  Since cheques have to be MICR encoded now, the act has probably been changed but maybe not.

You might want to send a certified letter to the company asking that question.

Go to the district attorney with the receipt for the certified letter\nand a copy of the bounced check..\nThe District Attorney should be happy to collect it for you...\nBad checks are illegal...\nYou need not sue, your employer broke the law..\nThis is not a civil matter, it is now a crimminal matter...

You can ask for counter-cheque from them, 3 or 4 cheques at a time. they have to give it to you. Its free~\n\nIts just another way to get chqs, if you don't need styling

No, the Bank will not accept such cheques.\nThis is to avoid any unwanted issues to occur such as \n1. amendment of amount or beneficiary name by any Bank Officers \n2. the writing on the cheque will fade and disappear on its own

No. A certified check is one of your OWN checks that has been certifed by your bank to have funds set aside in your account to cover that particular check and only that particlar check. A cashier's check is a bank check, in effect drawn on the bank itself.\n\nA certified check is one for which the bank guarantees payment.
