  • Don't use a third-party check, future-dated check, traveler's check, or a starter check.
  • Make checks payable to, "Vanguard."
  • Make sure the number and written amounts on the check match.
  • Be sure you sign the check before sending it to Vanguard unless it is an employer's check, then just send it without endorsing it.
