A Lost Instrument Bond is required in Louisiana if you own a valuable document that has been lost, destroyed or stolen. The bond protects the original issuer from any financial loss as a result of issuing a duplicate and is sent to the financial that the certificate originated from.

What Type of Lost Instrument do you Need?

  • Open Penalty Surety Bonds are for instruments whose market value fluctuates.
