A Lost Instrument Surety Bond is required in North Carolina if you own a valuable instrument that has been lost, destroyed or stolen. The bond protects the original issuer from any financial loss as a result of issuing a duplicate. Bonds are commonly required for lost instruments and often the issuing institution will require an affidavit as well.

Lost Instrument Bond Types:

  • Open Penalty Bonds are for instruments that have a market value that can fluctuate.
  • Fixed Penalty Bonds are for instruments whose value remains the same since inception.

    • Common Lost Instruments include preferred stock certificates and municipal bonds.

    Other examples of lost instruments are:

  • Money Order
  • Cashier’s Check
  • Common Stock Certificates
  • Check

  • Bankbook
  • Other Financial Instruments and Securities
