Not really. The institution where the cheque is presented for encashment should refuse it but if they don't notice it may get cashed.
If you know it wasn't signed, however, you can have it recalled.
If your wrote it you will have to pay for the fees and the cost of the check. If it was given to you and you deposited it the bank will charge you for a bad check in your account and take the money out. The fees are pretty steep these days.
To sign the back of a check is to endorse it.
To transfer a check to another person you can sign the back and have them sign the back, as well. Once they sign the check, it is their check.
Endorsing the check
Unless there is a designated area for you to endorse a check, it doesn't matter which side of the check you sign. However, as a rule of thumb, when you are looking at your check right-side up, just flip it, and sign the left side.
They will not forget to rectify that.
No, you cannot cash an unsigned check.
If you have a bank account and are trying to deposit a check, you will have to sign the back of that check. If the back is not signed, it cannot be deposited or cashed.
If the check has the word 'or' between the names, it can be cashed by you. If it has 'and/or' you can cash it alone. Try depositing the check, rather than cashing it; then take out the money.
To write a check, you start with the date that the check is available to be cashed. Use the full name of the person of organization the check is going to, and the dollar amount in the box. Under the name, properly write out what the dollar amount is, and sign the check.
If the notary forgot to sign, the document is not notarized.
If you don't have a bank account, you can cash it at a check cashing place for a fee. You could also sign it over to a third person, who can cash it on your behalf.
If it is your own personal check, and you wish to deposit or cash it, yes.

The person or company the check is made out to. No one else can cash it. The person you wrote it to can endorse the check to someone else so they can cash it.
No. A check can be cashed only by the individual to whom the check is made out (issued) to. No one else can cash it even if it is signed by the person to whom the check was given. If you try to do so, it is an illegal activity and you can be jailed for it. But, you can deposit that check into the account of the person to whom the check was given if he has signed the back of the check (endorsed it) and no one will stop you if you do this and it is perfectly legal.
