How long are cheques valid for?

I am overseas and can't recall how long Adsense cheques are valid for.

Thanks

Under the US Uniform Commercial Code, unless stated otherwise on the check, the check is good for six months. This doesn't mean that you lose your money after six months, it just means you have to get Google to issue you a new check to replace the "stale dated check."

If the cheque is older than 6 months, but in the current year, you can sometimes get them processed by using an ATM rather than a teller (who is trained to look for these things).

Not all checks are the same. I have seen some saying they are only good for 90 days past the issuing date.

And....just to make you feel good, US cheques cashed in foreign countries can be returned unpaid (bounced) up to two years after being presented.

I'm based in the UK and I was under the impression that the cheque was valid for 3 months (?)
