Lost Savings Bond
March 23rd, 2008
What records should I keep of my US Savings Bonds?
You should keep all records and complete and up-to-date and possible. These include
- US savings bond serial numbers,
- US Savings Bonds registrations, and
- social security numbers.
What do I do if I bought a US Savings bond at a financial institution but it never arrived?
If you order a bond at a financial institution such as a bank or credit union and you don’t receive the US savings bond within 15 business days, contact the institution where you bought it. If the US savings bond cannot be found, the institution will help you complete a claim form to request a replacement bond.
How do I replace a lost US Savings bond?
To get your US Savings bond replaced, complete Form 1048. On this form, you will be asked to provide the approximate issue date, the complete names, addresses, social security number that appeared on the bond, and the bond serial number. If you don’t know just write “unknown” in the space provided.
Mail the completed form to:
Bureau of the Public Debt, Parkersburg, WV 26106-7012.
Bureau of the Public Debt, Parkersburg, WV 26106-7012.
Do I need to change my name of the US Savings Bonds after I married?
No.
If your name has changed due to marriage, you do not need to get the US Savings Bonds reissued.
When cashing the bonds, just sign your former name and your married name on the bonds. For example, “Susan M. Ingram, changed by marriage to Susan I. Brown”.
