What happens if a check written out to me only has my first name?

Can I still deposit or cash it?

What happens if a check written out to me only has my first name?
yes -- just go to your bank and deposit it!!!
Reply:ANYONE with your fist name COULD cash the check and the BANK is protected. Report Abuse

Reply:Just add your last name and deposit the check. It should clear without any problems
Reply:I would add my last name and then deposit it or cash it, as long as the check was meant for you in the first place.
Reply:Nobody cares...it will clear even if it said Mickey Mouse.
Reply:i babysit and sometimes people will write a check to me and only put my first name on. i just write in my last name, and deposit it. i've been with my bank for a while and they've never said anything. if i were you i would just add your last name and then deposit the check. wait a little bit to make sure it went through before you spend the money. if you're really nervous just bring the check as is to the bank teller and ask what to do, they will help you.
Reply:write in your last name in front of the bank teller.
Reply:If you are just going to deposit it, all you have to do is write "for deposit only" and your account number. They will take it.
