i guess i didnt make myself clear. this check is to be made out to a third party and i am wondering if i am allowed to fill in the "payable to", "amount", and sign it, and then mail it to the third party.
but from the flood of NOs i'm going to not do it... unless this additional detail changes things and i start hearing YESs

NO. They should have left you some signed checks. Unless you are a signer on an account, the bank should not honor your check.

Don't do it. Banks electronically check signatures. I know this because I have arthritis and there have been times I didn't sign my name the same way in general because I couldn't write very well that day and I have had to show ID to prove I wasn't forging my own signature. Now the bank knows me and they know I have arthritis.
If you really need money and they are away, have them wire it to you. You cannot even deposit their check into their account if they haven't endorsed it first.

Are you kidding me? That is fraud, and if you get caught you might be in real trouble. If they are away, have them allow you to deposit the check into their account, and send you a check, money order, or just wait until they return. Endorsing any body's check is still I.D. theft. Can it be done, sure. But if you are lying, and get caught, jail time buddy.

Yes you are. If you do have their permission, as you claim, then you are. I signed checks for my parents often while I still lived at home, and as long as they approve, you are in the clear. If you are trying to cash a check made out to your parents, even if it is endorsed, you will still need id at most places, (some don't bother to ask) and/or a written permission, often notarized to make it legal. But just signinga check drawn on your parents bank should not be a problem with their permission.

No, It needs to be signed on the back payable to you with your parent's signatures on it. Bank still might not cash it, might want to contact your parents.

no no no... verbal permission don't mean squat. It could be anyone on the other end of the line! It is their account, not yours, so the answer is a resounding NO.

No, and if you are under 18 you can't legally sign any contract anyhow.
