If the cheque were cashed by you at your bank, the staff would have 'qualified' their authority to cash it by either a visual identification of you, (meaning someone knew you as a regular account holder of the bank), or if you provided any identification for the encashment of the cheque, your identity would be traceable to your account.

However, if you were to receive a cheque from an individual, drawn in your favour, and from a bank not used by yourself, provided you did not submit any identification, the process the bank would have to undertake to identify you would be substantial. They would need to check the payee's name and rely upon their comprehensive search facilities, possibly including the police, if the situation warranted it. Additionally, if the cheque were bogus in any way, the bank maintains continual data capture facilities (fix frame and running video), of every event that occurs inside the bank, especially close-up photos of transactions occurring at the counter. They would pull the cheque, note the time the cheque was presented, then pull the corresponding video activity; including the counter's close-frame photos, and peripheral photos, (such as around the bank to determine whether there was anyone with you), and present the combined evidentiary material to any necessary authorities.

It is highly improbable that a bank, in today's current financial climate, would simply hand over cash to the payee, in the absence of identification and the drawee's endorsement (signature) on the document.

How will I know if the money has already receive by the receiver?

Never send cash, if sending a payment through the mail, send either a Money Order, Cashiers Check or a Personal/Company Check. Your best options are to have the letter sent registered mail and request a received receipt that the receiver must sign in order to receive the letter and payment. If you have a business, it is better to send a business check and send it registered. You can have a receipt for when the person receives the letter and once the check is cashed, your bank can show a canceled check. if payment is being made in person, GET A SIGNED RECEIPT. Do not allow them to SEND you a receipt in the mail, get it immediately with a signature showing that payment has been made and received. If you sent cash, then you have no way of knowing and must trust the honesty of the receiver. However, if you sent a money order, cashiers check, or personal check, those can be traced and signatures can be viewed to see if they were cashed and by whom.
