What does void mean for a check?
That just means that you don't use the check. You might mark "Void" on it or tear it in two. That is different from a "canceled" check, meaning that it was already used and processed by the bank.
Cashing a check that says void after 180 days?
you can't
Why are checks void after 6 months?
Because that is the rule. If someone does not cash a check paid out to him for that long, probably he has either lost it or does not wish to cash it. So in such cases, to prevent illegal activities (like a stolen check being cashed by a fraudster) there is a validity date associated with each check. In most cases it is 90 days and in some countries it is up to 180 days.
What is difference between void check and canceled check?
A voided check is a check written or partially written but then canceled or deleted by the maker of the check.The notation of "void" is used because checks are prenumbered for control purposes and every check needs to be accounted for.Voided checks may require some adjustments when reconciling the bank statement. For example, if a check is written in December but is voided in January, the Cash account in the company's general ledger will need to be increased when the check is voided. (Another account will need to be credited because of double entry bookkeeping.)where as the cancelled check indicates-Once a cheque is approved and all appropriate accounts involved have been credited, the cheque is stamped with some kind of cancellation mark, such as a "paid" stamp. The cheque is now a cancelled cheque. Cancelled cheques are placed in the account holder's file. The account holder can request a copy of a cancelled cheque as proof of a payment.
Can you use whiteout on a personal bank check if you made a mistake on it?
Probably not. Any alteration to the check will usually make it unacceptable, since anyone could put white-out on a check to change it. The thing to do would be to write "VOID" across your check, shred it, and start a new one.
Can you cash a year old check?
Most checks become stale dated -- which means they cannot be cashed -- after 6 months, though some checks last for a year (business checks). Some checks may have an even shorter life (the check would say "Void after ________"). If your check is stale dated, it is likely your bank will refuse it or, if they accept it, that the drawee bank will return it against your account. You should request a new, currently dated check from the original maker.
Can you cash a check that is over the void date?
yes, over the void date is fine; however, individual banks may have limits like a year. The void we put on our checks is so we can reconcile and account for all checks. We do not want employees or vendors to just hang onto them for a long time.

How long can you keep a check before cashing it at a check cashing store?
Most checks become stale dated (meaning they cannot be negotiated) after six months. Some checks, especially business checks and U.S. Treasury checks, have a longer life of up to one year. And some checks, which would specifically have a "VOID AFTER" or similar notice on the front, expire more quickly.

How is an electronic check processed?
Electronic checks are processed through the ACH network by the Federal Reserve Bank. The company who is scanning the paper check scans it though a machine which will basically capture a picture of the check. It is now stored digitally and is sent to the ACH which takes the funds from the customers account and into the account of who the check is written to. Once its approved, the check can be returned to the customer and marked as void.
How long before a check is invalid?
This will depend on the issuing bank and the country, but assume 3 - 6 months. In some cases, it is one year. -- Wrong. In the USA the date on the check is a comment field. It can even be blank. If it's incorrect, then you could generally just tell the tellor the date was incorrect. However, if the other account is closed, then it might come back on you to pay the bounced check fee. This is diffrent from a date written above the signature line stating the check is void after X days. Remember a check is in fact a contract, and thus, that line just stated terms. (lol...I wrote code for the Federal Reserve Banks, for checks...yup..I know US checks.). Now, the bank branch might have their own policies, but you can go to another bank, or just deposit it into the deposit atm....lol. If however, you like the person who wrote you the check, this is a horrible thing to do to someone, hold a check for a year, then go cash it because no one balances a checkbook anymore.
What would you do with a check that is void?
Tear it up it...it is no good.
