Payment Options

The memo line is the only optional part on a check. You may leave it blank, however, it's a great way for you to keep track of what the check is for. For example, you can write the Remittance Number or CPA License Number, especially if the check is not directly from the applicant.

6: Signature

This is where you sign your check. Signing your check gives authorization to the payee to draw the specified amount from your checking account.

• If you have already submitted a foreign cashier's check or money order for an amount less than $200 US dollars, the Cashiering Unit will contact you to arrange an alternate form of payment.
