How to cash in savings bonds in maiden name?
Yes, you can cash in savings bonds using your maiden name. This is especially true if the bonds were issued in your maiden name. When you apply for the savings bonds cash, then you will have to put the existing identity proofs there. Along with this, you will have to apply both the old name and the new name in the application. Along with this, the region of the name change will also have to be specified there.
This process is approved by the US Treasury. Because in this condition it has happened in many cases that when savings bonds are bought in the name of a girl, then her name is her maiden name. But after her marriage, the surname is added after her name.
Therefore, in this condition, on the official website of the US Treasury, Treasurydirect.gov, special separate information has been given about it. It is written in it that you have to show both the names there and also clear the name change region there. Even if you are married and even if you are a divorcee.
