One way to cash checks anonymously is to go to just about any check cashing service. Call them first and ask them if you have to have ID to cash a check. Many will say no you don’t have to have an ID. What happens is you go to the check-cashing place and they will call the person that wrote you the check. They will ask them if they wrote you the check and ask them if it is okay to cash the check for you. As long as that person says yes, you will get your check cashed. They may ask that person what you look like and if they can describe you, your check will be cashed with no further hassles. You might mow someone’s lawn, they would write the check out to John Doe, and you go straight to the check cashing company to cash it with no ID. The check cashing company would ask if you minded if they called the person who wrote the check. You would say, “Be my guest”. They would call and ask if they wrote John Doe a check and the person would say, “Yes”. They will ask the person what you look like and if the description matches, you will walk out with the cash in just a few minutes without having any ID. This happens in every check cashing business every single day.
Another way to cash checks anonymously is to use any one of the five types of business checking accounts from the chapter on how to open checking accounts anonymously. Any of the five types of business accounts work. You can use a John Doe name for any of those techniques as well.
Another way to cash checks anonymously is to have the person write the check to your John Doe name or any name you please. Then find a friend or family member that already has a checking account. Sign the check over to them and have them deposit the check in their account and give you the cash.
