Can I still use checks though the address is incorrect?

Question

I just moved to a totally different city, but I still have a box of checks for my bank account with my old address. I don't really write a lot of checks, so I would hate to have to order more. So my question is if I can still use my old checks, even though my old address is listed.

Answer 1

really unlikely.

sorry.

it looks like you are going to have to buy new checks.

help me with mine if you can.

Answer 2

You can use your check.  Your bank will still accept check if they still show the old address on there.  

Answer 3

My business does not accept checks with addresses that do not match the address on the ID (assuming you have a new license with updated address) - it's an identity fraud red flag.  This also applies to handwriting the new address on the old check.

Save yourself the potential headache at the register - get new checks and chalk them up as an unexpected moving expense.

Answer 4

Sure.  Utility and credit card bills are fine.

Do NOT use the checks locally as small business will try to add you to their database.
