In general, a claimant, i.e. the the drawer or payee of a certified check, may assert a claim to the amount of the check by a communication, e.g. a declaration of loss, to the obligated bank in a time and manner that provides the bank with a reasonable time to act on the communication before the check is paid and includes a description of the check with reasonable certainty. In the case of a certified check, the claim becomes enforceable on the ninetieth day following the date of acceptance. See the Uniform Commercial Code, Article 3, Section 3-312(b).

Who can certify a check?
Only the bank can certify a check, or someone at the bank. Usually, the bank will not certify a personal check, they will issue what is called a "certified check". A certified check is guaranteed to have available funds by the bank that certifies it. Certified means the funds are held aside. Anyone with a certified check made out to them can go to that bank and collect cash. In days of banking past, you could have a personal or business check certified by the bank, and they would stamp the check "certified" and hold the funds aside on that item. Now, the bank will just issue a certified check after taking the money from your account and the certified check will be drawn on the bank's account. This answer is for the U.S. banking system.

I don't see why not. Contact your bank in which you drew the money from. It will likely cost you some money, as most every bank charges a fee to cancel a check. Best to do it immediately, before it gets cashed and you are S.O.L.! Good luck.
