How can I cash a US Treasury check without a bank account?
You may be able to cash the check at a local business that provides such a service. For example, look for a check cashing business (the most expensive alternative) or a supermarket that offers check cashing services. Any business with a neon sign advertising "Checks Cashed" will cash a government check if you can provide valid identification that meets the business's standards, and are willing to pay a fee, which may or may not be restricted by the laws of your state. Typically, supermarkets and other businesses that accommodate customer check cashing as a service tend to have much lower fees because they make most of their profits in their principal lines of business.
