The Safest Way to Send a Check Safely Through the Mail

If you're sending a check to someone, you need to know how to do it in a way that protects the money. The best way to do it is to mail it in a secure envelope or drop it off at the post office.


A secure envelope is an inexpensive way to keep your check safe. These are thicker than a regular letter and come with a security tint that makes it difficult to see what's inside.



There are many other ways to keep your check safe. You can add extra security by using tracking. Tracking codes allow you to track packages and envelopes, which can help prevent lost or stolen checks.


Another option is to place the check inside a folded letter. It's important to use the correct postage. Also, make sure to seal the envelope securely. Leave no gaps, and ensure there's enough postage to cover the weight of the check.


You should also avoid leaving your mail in an open mailbox or building entryway. Someone could pick it up. This could lead to the check being stolen and fraudulently cashed.


Another way to keep your check secure is to write "For Deposit Only" on the back of the check. That way, the person you're paying has to put the check into their own account.


The next step is to get a certified letter. If you do this, you'll receive a signature on the receipt. In addition, you'll have proof of delivery.
