First you have to find this element, for example by xPath, and then do click() action on this element.

WebElement chk = driver.findElement(By.className("initialChk"));     
chk.click();

what is the error? Do you have multiple check-boxes with the same ID or class name on the page? If yes, use findElements method instead of findElement. – Sanchita Feb 25 '16 at 13:35

In the first step you have to locate your checkbox by some locator, here I'm using id as an element locator.

By ChkName = By.id("7"); WebElement chkBox = driver.findElement(ChkName).click();

That's all it's simple!

Duplicate issue. You can try this :

driver.findElement(By.id("idOfTheElement")).click();

Apart from other answers, you can use this;

your_web_driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='checkbox']")).click();

to check every check box in a page.
