I had to put my ssn on my nieces bond what will happen later?

-I requested a bond for a 3 month old, they spelt her last name wrong and they told me to put in my Social Security Number instead of hers. how will this affect her when she cashes it in?I work at a bank and it is our policy as well to have the purchaser use their social security number if the bondholders SSN is unavailable. This should not be a problem when redeeming the bond at a later date. As long as it is still her name (such as Brandy and Brandi), not an entirely different name (such as Brandy and Brandon) that should not cause any problems either.



Hope that helps. Have a great day!
Put a post it note on the bond stating that when it's cashed in to use her SSN.



As stated above, someone's SSN has to go on the bond and the Treasury will happily take yours at the time of purchase if you don't know hers.



When I cashed a bunch of bonds that my grandmother left me, I reminded the bank to use my SSN which wasn't the one on the bond. No problem.
