What is a Minnesota Lost Instrument Bond?

A surety bond is one of the most important requirements in 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.

 

What are the different types of instruments?

Here are examples of these important instruments, which are legal documents that have financial value:

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

 

What is the cost of this bond? 

The bond amount varies widely.

 

The surety bond cost, however, will depend on the value of the instrument.

 

Instruments that have a value of $5,000 or less can have a surety bond cost of $100. For instruments that have more than $5,000 in value, the surety bond cost that needs to be paid will be $20 per one thousand.
