The Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) is authorized to replace lost, stolen, or destroyed Savings Bonds. You can file a claim by writing to: Bureau of the Public Debt, Parkersburg, West Virginia 26106-7012. You will need to complete BPD Form PD F 1048. You should keep records of your Savings Bond serial numbers, issue dates, and social security or taxpayer identification numbers in a safe place. This information will help speed up the replacement process.
