If someone is actually making some decision about you and whether you're qualified to do something, then I'd do the money order or cashier's check. Fortunately in WA, you can pay almost everything government-related online.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236996311963818408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-26896716912360538982008-12-08T16:09:00.000-06:002008-12-08T16:09:00.000-06:00Best to err on the side of being cautious: money o...Best to err on the side of being cautious: money order or cashier's check.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-42686230968423786092008-12-08T15:58:00.000-06:002008-12-08T15:58:00.000-06:00Y'know, I've always thought that the phrase "ROFLM...Y'know, I've always thought that the phrase "ROFLMAO!" was largely theoretical.

No banks offer these particular checks. Many people who want custom checks here order them from a company which prints them with the magnetic strip of ink for the letters on the bottom.
