Reissue Isn't Necessary!

You don't need savings bonds of any series reissued simply because your address changes. However, depending on the bonds you own, you might need to notify us of your move...

If You Own Series EE/E Bonds or Savings Notes

If you own Series EE/E bonds or savings notes, you don't need to advise us (Public Debt) of your change of residence. We don't keep track of your address and we don't need to know where you live when you want to cash your bonds. However, the bank cashing the bonds will request your current address for tax reporting.

If You Buy Bonds through a Payroll Savings Plan or Bond-A-Month Plan

If you buy bonds through your employer's payroll savings plan or through a Bond-a-Month plan where you bank, notify your employer or bank right away if your address changes. The Post Office won't forward bonds sent to your old address, but will return them to the Federal Reserve Bank that printed them. To avoid a delay in delivery, send the address change on a regular payroll savings or Bond-A-Month authorization form as soon as you can. Make sure you send the appropriate form to your employer or bank (not to the Bureau of Public Debt or a Federal Reserve Bank)!
