What is a Lost Instrument Bond?

It is an important requirement that will be submitted to issuing authorities who will replace the lost financial instrument.

 

The purpose of this surety bond is to indemnify any person or persons who will lay claim on the replaced instrument. The surety bond will protect the issuing authority as well.

 

This type of surety bond will also act as an assurance that the Principal (the person who bought the bond) will surrender the new instrument to the issuing authority or surety for proper disposal in the event that the lost instrument has been found.

 

Instruments are legal documents that have financial value.

 

Here are some examples of these important instruments:

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

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.
