acceptable
Usage Note
Válido describes something legally or logically in force — a ticket, argument, or contract. The negative inválido also means 'disabled person' in older usage, so careful register awareness is needed. Do not confuse with valido, the historical noun meaning 'royal favourite'.

"Este billete ya no es válido."
Natural Translation
This ticket is no longer valid.
