Yes, sign your name, and print "for minor child" and put your child's name. Do it in front of the teller, and double check the bank's policy before you do it. |

I would just endorse it yourself as usual, and go inside your local bank you do business with, and bring your child. If you explain the situation to them, they should go ahead and cash it for you, especially if its not that much money.
Hope this helps! |

The check should be deposited to an account in her name. Once the check clears, you can withdraw the funds. If you don't already have an account set up, I suggest you do so. This won't be the last time you run into this situation. The best thing to do is to open an account with you, the parent, as the custodian for your daughter. Many banks have custodial accounts that are without fees or may require a minimum balance to be free of monthly service charges. All the transactions through the account are controlled by you, both deposits and withdrawals. If significant money is deposited in the account, the interest earned will be reported on her Social Security number so it won't be income you have to report. (This all assumes you are in the United States.)
If this sounds like a hassle, it is. The next best thing is to take the unendorsed check to your bank and ask them to cash it. My guess is they will try to sell you an account to deposit it in. If they do, you want one that has no fees. |

Since you are the legal parent and have proof of it, then you sign your name. |

Just sign the back! Or bring it into the bank and explain the situation. |

Yes you do. Go to the bank it was issued from or to your own bank to cash it.
You might want to use the check to get a bank account started for your daughter. You would be the primary and she the secondary. This could be the beginning of her college fund! |

Ask the bank teller before you sign it. Usually you sign "for your daughter" |

Save it until she is of legal age and can make a decision if she wants to cash it or not. At 18 she should be able to decide. After all...it is HER money. |

Yes. I usually put my name, the word "for" and then put my daughters name as well. |

Yes, but have you considered opening a savings account for her and depositing the check for her future use? Also if the check is for a large amount leave some of it in the bank and withdraw what her needs are today. You will both be glad in the future if you learn to save some money for future uses. |

Yes, and if they don't cash it for you then you can just deposit it and wait until it clears and withdraw the money from your account. |
|

Yup . . then throw it into your atm. Tell the jackass to send cash next time. Damn deadbeat dads. |

If it is bearer cheque, than you can try to en cash it. But if it is account payee cheque, then it is impassable for you to en cash it unless you have account in your daughters name. Or you can open a new account in your daughters name (Your self as a guardian) and then deposit that cheque in the newly opened account.

yeah unless you teach her, her signature this age..i am thinking it would come out as a kitty though so it is probably best you do it |
|
um yea hi
|
bring it to the bank and see what they say
i didnt start signing my own checks until i was about 13 and obviously you daughter can't
if you arent supposed to sign it i dont think it would hurt to do so, but you could bring it to the bank, i think they'll let you sign it there
im pretty sure my parents signed it
maybe you could bring your daughter to the bank as well |

Sign her name then sign yours and underneath yours write in "mother signing for minor child." I used to have to do that ALL the time when my relatives insisted on making checks out to my children before they could even write! Trust me, the banks are all too familiar with this one - happens all the time. |
|

|
yes you are the parent therefore you are responsible for cashing her checks, sign them and cash |

Do you have a custodial bank account? If you do, check with the bank. Can the person that send you the check send another check in YOUR name? Usually, a check must be signed by the person that it is made out to |

well your daughter obviously can't sign it! i would imagine that you would have to sign it but just ask the bank to be sure! |
