No. A checking account can be closed only by the individual who holds the account. He/she needs to visit the bank and sign the account closure form in order to close their bank account. No one else can do that. But, if the account holder has given the legal power of attorney to another individual, he can act as a proxy for the customer and close their bank account.

In most cases no. Almost all banks have core banking services in place and you can close your checking account in any branch of the bank with whom you have an account. If you are unfortunate enough that the bank does not have core banking features and has branch-banking only then you need to close it only at the branch where you opened it.
