Welcome to the Treasury Check Verification Application
|
Issue
information for U.S. Treasury checks can be verified provided that
the financial institution has a valid routing transit number,
check number and check amount. Treasury checks that are older than
13-months old will not be available in this application. These
checks should not be cashed by your institution since they are no
longer valid after one year. Please inform the payee to contact
the issuing agency for additional information.
Please note that not all U.S. Treasury checks will contain the
unique secure seal. Therefore lack of this seal does not imply the check is a counterfeit.
If no issue record is in the Treasury Check Verification Application (TCVA), it does not mean the check is invalid. Please note that the TCVA was created as a tool to assist in fraud detection, you still need to verify the security features of a US Treasury Check. Also, while not common, a US Treasury Check can be hand signed as opposed to signed by an automated process. If you need further information about these security features, please contact the FMS Questioned Documents Branch at (202) 874-7640.
Treasury Check Verification Application (TCVA) is available from Monday 6:00
AM thru Saturday 5:00 AM Eastern Time.
