If you open an account or if you want to cash a check, you must provide proof of your identity. In the U. S., a driver's license1 is probably the most frequently used kind of identification. Passports are always acceptable for this purpose. When you open an account, you are asked to fill out a signature card. You must be careful to sign your name exactly as you intend to write it on your checks. The bank compares the signature on your checks with that on your signature card. If there is any doubt about the signature, the bank will refuse to cash the check and will return the check to the endorser2. A check must be endorsed3 before it can be cashed - that is, the person or company to whom the check is made out must sign it on the back.
