To obtain a cashier’s check, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Visit your bank: Go to the bank where you have an account or a branch that offers cashier’s check services. It’s recommended to bring your identification documents such as a driver’s license or passport.
  2. Request a cashier’s check: Approach a bank representative and let them know you would like to obtain a cashier’s check. They will provide you with the necessary forms that need to fill out.
  3. Provide necessary information: Fill out the required details on the form, including the recipient’s name (payable to the title company), the amount of the check (final cash to close amount), and any additional instructions.
  4. Provide funds: To issue a cashier’s check, you’ll need to deposit the full amount of the check plus any applicable fees into your bank account. Ensure you have enough funds available to cover the whole amount.
  5. Pay the fees: Banks generally require a payment to issue cashier’s check, even to their own customers. Inquire about the fee amount and be prepared to pay it at the time of issuance.
  6. Verify the details: Double-check the information you provided on the form to ensure accuracy. Mistakes could result in delays or complications.
  7. Receive the cashier’s check: Once you’ve completed the necessary steps and provided the required funds, the bank will issue the cashier’s check to you.
  8. Always make sure to get a receipt for the cashier’s check: You should make it a habit to request a receipt from your bank whenever they issue cashier’s checks on your behalf. This may come in handy in a variety of scenarios, such as when the check is misplaced so you have proof for it.
  9. Ask for a business card: After they issue you the check, ask for a business card. Because the title company will need this to verify the check.

Remember to keep the cashier’s check in a secure place until you are ready to use it. It is as good as cash. You do NOT want to lose it. When you’re ready to give the check to the intended recipient, they can deposit or cash it, and the funds will be withdrawn from your account.

It’s important to note that specific procedures and requirements may vary depending on the bank and country. Therefore, it’s advisable to contact your bank directly for precise instructions on obtaining a cashier’s check. We suggest getting a cashier’s check as soon as you have the final cash to close from the lender, typically the day before the closing date.
