Bonds Feedback: Take them in with your marriage license and birth certificate. The more documentation you bring the better, but those are to two most important. Its pretty simple as banks understand that this happens a lot.
Bonds Feedback: As long as you have your birth certifcate as a form of ID with you r name before marriage. Bring this with your currrent ID and you should be OK at your bank.
Bonds Feedback: You can still cash them. Beware of any taxes you may have to pay, too.
Those savings bonds were issued with either your social security number, which doesn’t change, or your parents’ SS numbers, in addition to your name. Rarely, they may have been issued with the giver’s SS number, if that person didn’t know yours or that of your parents.
Take the bonds to the bank you use, show them your ID plus a birth certificate or social security card and your marriage license.
