invalidity/expiry
As Thomas points out, depending on what the "pièces officielles" are (for the "convention"), what affects the validiy/non-validity of the "pièces", the date may be what they are referring to. In this case, "expiry" or "invalidity" would be another option.
Another formulation:
...in the case that the official documents submitted to the PARTNER are:
expired, or have been cancelled(overturned) or revoked.
Again, it would depend on whether the "pièces" are patents, licences, judgments, etc.
"Nullity" covers everything and would perhaps sound more contractese.
I agree with the posts here; references always help the Proz community understand the reasoning behind an answer and inform the Asker on the best choice given their context. :)

ph-b (X)
: with "expiry" - caducité is about "lapsing".

if this 'caducité' refers to 'toutes pièces officielles':
'All official documents submitted to the PARTNER are null and void, have been ...'

Tony M
: It seems to me this misses the key point with 'caducité' that there is a time element involved, so it becomes null (where it wasn't originally)

voidness by time-barring
It is, in the weblink, the annulation - rather than the caducité - that would normally equate with avoidance of a disposition ou retrait > withdrawal.
Defeasance vs. voidness, as per my recent answers that have been recycled, would not work with official docs, whilst lapse amd expiry as per IATE get closer cf. statute-barring: Navarr
Legal definition of time-barred: barred by the passage of time under a statute of limitations, statute of repose, or procedural rule.

Good point, but not really - civil remedies on ENG contracts and, with notable exceptions, tax debts get time- or stature-barred after 6 years, specialty contract e.g. land-related debts contained in a deed under seal, only after 12 years.

AllegroTrans
: This seems to be simply about docs that have expired, time-barring is really something else, and "voidness" sounds very clonky, even if it is a word

problem is official docs., unless ID cards, and deeds don't 'expire' - only the civil remedies or authorisations thereunder do.

Discussion
For the formulation in this sentence, to allow for the verbs in the passive voice as well;
“... in the case that the official documents submitted to the PARTNER have:
expired/lapsed, been cancelled/overturned, or been revoked.”
Something will become null and void as a result of time having run out ("caduc").
If you need to be precise, it is probably important to make sure you use a term describing the cause not the effect.
