How do I Mail a Check to my own address that’s made payable to someone else?
If you need a check made payable to a specific party but mailed to you so you can include it with paperwork or hand-deliver the item, fill in the payee line during the check creation process as follows:
Payee Name, C/O Your Name
For the full address, enter your own address.
How long is the check valid?
Checks sent through Mail a Check expire after 180 days if not cashed or deposited, though they have “Void after 90 days” printed on them to encourage recipients to deposit their check. When a check expires, the money for the check is automatically deposited back to the sender's Checking balance. If someone attempts to deposit a check that is older than 180 days, it will be returned and the recipient may be charged a fee by their bank.
Can I track or expedite the shipping of my check?
No. Checks will arrive to the recipient in 5-7 business days and cannot be expedited. All checks are sent by USPS First Class Mail, and tracking numbers aren’t available.

It's been longer than the timeline I was given for my check to be delivered, and the check still has not arrived. What can I do?
Please reach out to Customer Service to initiate the stop payment process.
How do I place a stop payment on a check I sent?
As long as the check has not been cashed, we can place a stop payment. Keep in mind that requesting a stop payment on a check doesn't prevent the check from being delivered. Please let the recipient know that the check has been stopped and that the check will not be honored if they attempt to deposit it.
Can I send a check internationally?
No, checks can only be sent to addresses within the United States or U.S. territories that are verifiable by the USPS.
