Open Question: What do you need to cash a check?

I'm 19 years old and a couple of weeks ago I participated in a phone survey where I had to watch a TV show that hasn't premiered, then give my opinion about the show. I made $25. I just received my check in the mail. The problem is that I haven't gotten my state ID yet. My father says he can cash it for me if I go with him to the bank. Is that possible? Thanks!
