Checks void date
 

I'm from Europe. I have a question about US checks - after how many days (after
the date on the check) is the check void? Is it 60 days, 90 days or
something else? Because I received a check and the date on the check
is 11/02/2009.

unless the check states that it expires after 90 days or 6 months, I think you can cash it anytime.

usually 90 days

If not noted on the check, the cutoff is 180 days. Checks in excess of 180 days old are considered "stale dated". Stale dated checks can still be cashed successfully. However, the drawee's bank has the right to refuse payment on the check or "bounce" it.

I think it should say on the check when it is no longer valid. Look carefully at all the writing on the check.

Good idea, next time I have checks printed I'll make sure they are dated. :winkwink:


.

The whole "void after x days" that everyone prints on checks isn't really valid. Just deposit it.

Deposit it in the ATM, most time it will go through.

Not true.

You may get away with it but that doesn't mean it not valid.
