If your name has changed because you got married, you don't have to change the name on your bonds. If your name has changed for any other reason, you have to have to fill out a Form PD F 4000, which is available for download at the Treasury website.

There are forms available for access online from the US Treasury Department for name changes on US Savings bonds. It depends on the type of bond you have whether or not this will actually be possible for you to do.

Other than marriage, you must fill out and sign a Form PD F 4000. This shows the correct registration and then you mail it to a Treasury Retail Securities site.

Contact Bureau of the Public Debt, U.S. Department of the Treaasury (TreasuryDirect.Gov) to update your (Form PD F 4000) registration, or re-issue your Savings-Bonds. Name-changes due to either: marriage or a small spelling or typographical error, usually do NOT require re-issuance; Simply sign BOTH names when you redeem your Savings-Bond(s).

Well, you have to go through a legal name change. You can submit an application for the legal name change accordingly. It will cost money though, and you will have to contact customer service.

You will need to go to court and to get it legally done. If you were to change it yourself it would void the bond.
