Mum in laws cheque

Hi there, just a quickie.
My mother in law has been given a cheque (made payable to her) from a third party and she wants me to put it into her bank account, as its difficult for her to get to the bank.
Do I need any ID to do this, or just her account details ?

for the future, does she realise that almost all major banks allow you to pay in at any Post Office?

The amount doesn't matter.0

I tend to post cheques in if I'm not going to be near a branch, my bank (Nationwide in this case) has a form online to fill in to accompany the cheque.0

If it is a large amount say over £5k/£10k the bank may ask where the money has come from as per their money laundering rules.
As long as they are happy about the source of funds you should be ok.0 -
The bank won't be asking the depositor or the payee of the cheque where the money came from. They might ask the issuer of the cheque.
The mind boggles why we are even having a thread on this.0 -
If she's happy to lend you her debit card (you will not need to know the PIN) and give you a paying-in slip from her cheque book, you can pay in via the paying-in machines in the bank (i.e. no humans to feel you have to explain anything to!). My paying-in slips have "paid in by" on the form, so they are freely allowing someone else to pay in for you (because they don't need the PIN to do so).0
