Technically a cheque is considered "stale" (past it's sell-by date) six months after it is dated.
This does not mean that it's no longer good, just that you may be asked questions about why you sat on it for so long.

Cheques go out of date after 6 months, but the bank should still honour it up to 6 years as there is still a legal liability on the debt.
If it's a dividend cheque then it's 12 months and a 9 year liability.

Cheques usually last about 6 months from the date on the cheque

Usually 6 months, but it can be longer for certain cheques.
I recently received a dividend cheque which stated in the small print along the side that it was valid for 12 months.
I'd get it to the bank within the next couple of weeks if I were you.

At work we cannot accept cheques that are more than 6 months old. However, I would suggest that you contact your bank to check with their procedures are.
