*Depositing* Checks written out to Mr. & Mrs. His last Name....PROBLEMS

Ugh! We received checks from a few guest written out to Mr. & Mrs. H, and we are having problems depositing until I change my last name. Well I was about to go next Friday to SS Office and change it BUT....realized I can't. I am going to Jamaica for a wedding July 23rd and can't change my passport....

Ugh! We received checks from a few guest written out to Mr. & Mrs. H, and we are having problems depositing until I change my last name. Well I was about to go next Friday to SS Office and change it BUT....realized I can't. I am going to Jamaica for a wedding July 23rd and can't change my passport. So, now the checks will have to sit for another month until I can get my name changed, new ID and open up a joint account with DH. Why do people write out checks with Mr. & Mrs. Don't they know the hassle they put you through with this or are they just not thinking? Anyone else dealing with this problem.

FYI: We also have already been to the bank to discuss this with them and we have to have my name changed over because I also have personal accounts that would affect me. DH is checking with his other Bank to see if he can deposit in his name only through his account......UGH!

Rant Ova!

    Your husband should be able to deposit them! Cashing was where we had difficulty. PS. I changed all my stuff, SSN, Drivers license, bank, etc. and kept my passport maiden to fly on a previously booked reservation and has no issues. I just now changed my passport (came in yesterday) so you don't really have to do it ALL at once! It took me about 3 months to get it all changed over! Good luck!

    We deposited all of our checks virtually through to a joint checking account to avoid issues. We both signed the AND ones and didn't have any issues.

    Our guests did the same thing.... FH deposited all of the checks into his account (via mobile baking) without any issue.

    Try cashing though a mobile banking app or atm. It will likely get through without being flagged. I feel like this is one the things that you have issues with if you draw attention to it, but if you just deposit it normally without saying anything they won't notice.

    We both signed the back of the checks and deposited them into his account on the mobile app.

    I had the same issue. I tried taking them to the bank. I think I'm going to try to deposit them with the app to see if it'll work.

    I just talked to DH and we're going to just deposit virtually. Like @Natalie C said don't bring attention to it. Thanks ladies.

    My bank had us endorse the back Mr & Mrs. Blank and then we each individually signed our names underneath....we had no issue.
