How long does somebody have to cash a check?

I know there are several outstanding checks from my bank account. Some of them are several years old. Is there a time limit that a person has to cash a check? I don't know the check numbers so I can't put a stop payment on them.

The best answer to this is to ask your bank.





My bank will only honor a check up to 1 yr after it is dated. I think that is the standard rule, but each bank may be different.
Reply:Standard is 90 days. Some banks will honor checks beyond that, bust most wiil not...
