Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a check certified?
You must take your check to your bank, where they will verify funds are available and stamp or mark the check as certified. This cannot be done at home.
What's the difference between a certified check and a cashier's check?
A certified check is your personal check that the bank guarantees, while a cashier's check is drawn from the bank's own funds. Both provide payment guarantees.
