What is a Missouri Lost Instrument Bond?

We get it. Losing an important item is hard enough.

 

Losing an important financial instrument? Well, that one is headache-inducing.

 

There are requirements that you need to fulfill before your precious instrument is replaced. One of the most important of which is a surety bond.

 

A surety bond is one of the essential 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.

 

What are instruments?

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

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

 

What is the bond amount for a Missouri Lost Instrument 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 you need to pay will be $20 per one thousand.
