There are two ways to do this. If you have a bank account of your own, and if your bank account has as much money or more, as the amount of the check, then you can take it to your bank and they will cash it for you. If you do not have such a bank account, your alternative is to take the check to the bank which issued the check (the address is printed on the check) and to also take legal identification with you (such as a driver's license or a passport) and they will cash it for you.

I will also note that if neither of these alternatives is going to work for you, you might consider depositing the check in your account, or opening a bank account in which to deposit the check, rather than cashing it. It will clear, usually within a week, and you can then withdraw the money from your account. You do still need ID to open an account, however. Without ID, the world of banking is closed to you. Banks need to be able to confirm your identity.
