A check that is older than 90 days (or 180 days depending on the Country) is considered a stale or expired check. It is worthless and carries no value. You cannot cash such a check. Since the check is expired, the check issuing bank will not pay for it. Such a check is called a stale dated check

Checks usually have a validity of 90 or 180 days (depending on the country) and after that date, the check is stale and worthless. No bank will accept such checks for cashing or cash it. Since it has no value it is considered to be stale.
