The trustee has the right to verify, and have on record, who they distributed the payment to. Anyone could sign your name. If you have a valid driver's license or passport, I would think showing that each time would be sufficient.
But are you leaving out any information? Normally a trustee mails out the checks to trust beneficiaries, and requires them to return a signed receipt saying they received the payment. Is there a reason you are going to the office to receive the check, rather than having it mailed?
