Technically a cheque is considered "stale" (past it's sell-by date) six months after it is dated.
This does not mean that it's no longer good, just that you may be asked questions about why you sat on it for so long. |

there is no official "best before" date on a cheque they last till you cash them providing the account it is written for is still active |

6 months. but they can be honoured after that time, too, if the bank so chooses. |

depends on the place. most check cashing places is 90 days, others are 30. it depends on your bank, and also where the check is from. |

Cheques usually last about 6 months from the date on the cheque |

6 months is the standard. But some issuers/banks will extend the period for you. |

Cheques go out of date after 6 months, but the bank should still honour it up to 6 years as there is still a legal liability on the debt.
If it's a dividend cheque then it's 12 months and a 9 year liability. |

Usually 6 months, but it can be longer for certain cheques.
I recently received a dividend cheque which stated in the small print along the side that it was valid for 12 months.
I'd get it to the bank within the next couple of weeks if I were you. |

At work we cannot accept cheques that are more than 6 months old. However, I would suggest that you contact your bank to check with their procedures are. |

it differs from bank to bank unless the person who issued the cheque has canceled it then there is no reason you cant submit it to your bank . the bank in turn will then contact the persons bank to make sure its oksy for them to clear it and place the cash in to you account but usually 3 calander months is the limit for most banks to present a cheque but give it a try they can only bounce it back and refuse you |
