What is an Alabama Lost Instrument Bond?

Get replacements for your important lost instruments through this bond! 

A surety bond is one of the most important requirements of having a lost instrument replaced.

 

Issuing authorities will require you to submit this type of bond to protect them in case another person files a claim on the instrument that’s been replaced.

 

This type of surety bond will also act as an assurance that if the principal found the lost instrument after it has been replaced the principal will surrender the new one to the issuing authority or surety for proper disposal.

 

Instruments are legal documents that have financial value. Some examples of these so-called important instruments are as follows:

  • Stock Certificate
  • Real Estate Certificates
  • Certificate of Deposit
  • Treasury Bills
  • Bond Futures
  • Cashier’s Check
  • Passbook

 

What is the Alabama Lost Instrument Bond amount? 

The bond amount varies widely. The surety bond premium, however, will depend on the value of the instrument.

 

Instruments that have a value of $5,000 or less can have a surety bond premium of $100.

 

For instruments that have more than $5,000 in value, the surety bond premium that you need to pay will be $20 per one thousand.
