What is a New Jersey Lost Instrument Bond?

Get replacements for your important lost instruments through this bond!   

Losing an important instrument can be really stressful. Replacing one shouldn’t be! 

 

Issuing authorities will require you to submit this type of surety bond before they will issue a replacement for your valuable instrument. 

 

The purpose of this surety bond is to protect them in case another person files a claim on the instrument that has been replaced. 

 

This type of surety bond will also act as an assurance that you will surrender the new instrument to the issuing authority or surety for proper disposal if you’ve found the instrument that went missing.  

 

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 Lost Instrument Bond amount?   

The bond amount varies widely.  The surety bond premium, however, will depend on the value of the instrument, as well as your credit score.   

 

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.
