Best way to mail a check?

[alexjohnson16]

Just drop it in the envelope and mail, or should I put it in a folded paper so it doesn't get stolen or what?

Use a security envelope and just put it in there.

I second the security envelope.

By security envelope - you mean an envelope with the blue tint on the inside?

send it by the USPS via REGISTERED mail, wrap it in a sheet of paper, you HAVE to sign to receive a registered letter, if the leave it and you dont someone gets fired, if you arnt home when it comes you have to go to the PO and pick it up

Yes, security envelopes are the ones with blue tint on the inside.

Well, it's a check for a measly $5. I probably should just drive it to the person, its only about 25 minutes away.

I always do the fold a piece of paper in 3rds and then put the check inside of that and make sure you can't see through it. Could use 2 pieces of paper if you want. But yeah, if you have the security type envelopes available to you, use one of those.

It's also important to verify you're sending it to the correct address
