or will I have to wait until the date listed on the check before cashing or depositing?

Wait.
legally, post-dated checks cannot be cashed.
However, the post date, if it is only a few days away, is often overlooked.
If the post date is 30 days or more away, then you’ll have to wait.
No you have to wait until the day the check is written for
No bank by regulatory agreement with FedWire (the Federal Reserve service that processes all US inter-bank check clearances) can submit a check for payment before it’s payable (dated) date.
my bank tells me that there is no such thing as post-dating a check so you can cash it as soon as you get it but the person writing the check might not be too happy because they might not have the money in thier account to cover the check untill the date that they wrote it for which means it will bounce
It is usually the date written on the check. This is protection for the person writing it to ensure that when you do cash the check, the money is in the account. It is better to wait as if you try to cash it ahead of time, the funds may not be in the account, or if you deposit it too soon, and your bank tries to collect without success, they will charge you a service fee.
the date is usually written on there for a reason, a bank teller will check the date and tell you to come back on the date the check is dated for. Failure for them to catch this puts the person who wrote the check in financial harm if its cashed and it bounces.
