A specific question regarding a specific type of checks

Although in this era we've pretty much all moved onto credit cards, I still surprising find that there are some organizations that require their job/exam applicants to send in the application fee in the form of check.

My question is, what exactly are these checks that are addressed to a specific person/group??

Definitely not GIFT checks in my opinion.

Also, is the word "check" actually supposed to be spelled as "cheques" when used in the most formal situation??

THanks for any advice in advance:)

No I meant those checks that are completely constrained to be used only be the addressees, namely, no one else can cash them other than the addressees.

That's how all checks/cheques are.
