To allow someone else to cash or deposit your check on your behalf write in the endorsement area on the back of the check pay to the order of and then put the name of the person you're endorsing the check over too.

Then they will sign underneath that and be able to cash or deposit the check if the bank allows it.

Some banks will allow someone to cash or deposit a check that is signed over to someone else and some won't.

So it depends on the bank but most will allow you to sign over a check to someone else to cash or deposit. Sometimes you have to let the bank know about the special instructions when doing so.
