preenchido

Explanation:
Depois que o cheque é preenchido, ele tem que ser descontado até um tanto tempo depois da data no cheque. No Brasil acho que é 1 ano.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) states in Article 4-404 that "a bank is under no obligation to a customer having a checking account to pay a check, other than a certified check, which is presented more than six months after its date." This verbiage is what inexperienced tellers or bankers reference when they tell you checks are no longer valid, or stale, after six months from issuance. What they fail to mention is that the UCC goes on to say the bank has discretion to charge their customer's account after six months has elapsed. (See Reference 1) In short, the drawee bank is under no obligation to pay the check, but they can if they so choose. (See Reference 2)
