A check made out to cash is "bearer paper" it can be cashed by anyone who holds it. An equivalent bearer check is, "Pay to the order of a happy birthday" written on the front, or, "Pay to the order of Congratulations on graduating." Your check is the same as cash, so to prevent theft while waiting to cash the check, sign the back, "Pay to the order of (your name)". You will then have to produce identification to cash the check as it is now an "order instrument" cashable (or assignable) only by you. You do not have to go to any particular bank, even if your name isn't "cash". As for depositing it to your account, just sign the check (your name) and deposit it as you would any other check"! !
