Ask Terry Questions I Bond Signature Guarantee

I Bond Signature Guarantee

By Terry Savage on June 14, 2022 | Chicken Money

Had a non-customer trying to sign up for I Bonds. She needed a signature guarantee to process.(not a notary). Our branch offices don’t have that stamp and possibly not even one in the bank. The Post Office says no and the Court House said the same thing.

Where do people go for this?

I covered this in a recent article. It’s a tough process. I assume she was trying to CASH old bonds — not buy new ones? Buying a new bond does not require a signature guarantee. Andthe only place to do that is at TreasuryDirect.gov.

Read this article for everything I know about I-bonds – -AND the issue of signature guarantees for selling older paper bonds.
