Cashing In Savings Bonds for Minor

Answered by: 

Question: 
I am trying to find the steps to cashing in savings bonds for a minor. What info do we need on the back on the bond if the parent or guardian is cashing them in?
Answer: 

The Savings Bond Resource Guide is the one stop resource for all things savings bonds.

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/savbond/guide/guide_sbr.htm

Appendix D of the Guide includes the Guide to Cashing Savings Bonds.

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/forms/sav0022.pdf

It states, "On the back of the bond, have the parent enter a request modeled on the following:
“I certify that I am the parent of Jane Doe with whom Jane Doe resides (or to whom legal custody has been granted). She is 4 years old and is not of sufficient understanding to make this request. John Doe on behalf of Jane Doe.”
