Where can I cash a Western Union money order refund check without identification

We're sorry, but it's crucial to note that for security reasons, financial institutions typically require a form of identification to cash checks, including those issued by Western Union. This not only protects the institution, but it also protects you by preventing anyone else from cashing your check. It is recommended to have a government-issued ID for such transactions. In exceptional cases, some institutions might allow you to cash a check without an ID but they would still need proof that you are the person the check is made out to, which could be nuanced and potentially more complicated than providing an ID. We highly recommend having an identification for the process.
