It is not illegal to post date a check. Though it is illegal in some states to request someone to write you a (or many) post dated checks to guarantee payment. The check is not legal tender until the date on the check.
It Depends: 1. Yes it is Illegal if - you owe someone money and used the check to pay them for that. If you issue a stop payment the check will not be paid and the person to whom you issued this check can legally sue you for that 2. No it is not Illegal if - you have lost the check and want to ensure that whoever finds it cannot cash it without your approval
