How to create my own checkin location while performing checkins?

I want to add "at office" as my checkin place.How to add this to Places api and get Placeid,so that I can use this placeid to publish a checkin.

I have been searching on this for the past 2 days,but didnt find any solution.

I think there is an app called FourSquare doing this type of Fake checkin.

Is there any API in doing this?

Use user_status permission then get place object where
object containing the Page id, name, and location; location includes the specific latitude and longitude along with information about the postal addresses, if available.

    as far as i know : Publishing a Checkin object is deprecated in favor of creating a Post with a location attached. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/checkin/ – Saifuddin Sarker Dec 21 '12 at 11:30
