How can I get a cashier check or money order when I don have a bank in CA?

I’ve done what you’re doing before. I went to a local bank, and had my old bank wire the money (the new bank was happy to do the faxing for me). I opened an account on the spot to receive the money. I had the cashier’s check by that afternoon.

I had to do this once. I ended up faxing my bank (in another state) a letter with a copy of my driver’s license as proof of identity. If you ask nicely (and offer to pay for the postage) they’ll probably overnight it for you. Beware the postal money order. That was my first attempt to get money where it needed to go, and my debit card wouldn’t work. They do not accept checks or credit cards for money orders. All the banks I went to would not give me a certified check because I was not one of their customers.

I’d go to a bank (any bank) in your new neighbourhood first thing in the morning, explain the situation, and let them solve it. They’ll want your business so they’ll make it happen. They’ll want to give you a cashier’s cheque instead certifying one of yours but that’ll probably be fine.
