PURPOSE
You may use this form to establish a Legacy Treasury Direct account. The Department of the Treasury will establish and maintain your
book-entry account for the future deposit of securities. This form cannot be used for the purchase of securities or to request a change
to an existing account.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• To avoid delays, read the instructions carefully and either type your answers or print them clearly, using ink.
• REQUESTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WITH ALTERATIONS OR CORRECTIONS.
• This form must be signed. Only original signatures and forms will be accepted (stamped signatures are not acceptable).

1. Legacy Treasury Direct ACCOUNT INFORMATION
ACCOUNT NAME
Enter the name(s) of the owner(s) for whom the Legacy Treasury Direct account will be established. Accounts may be established
in the names of one or two individuals, an estate, a trust, corporation, association, natural guardian, etc. (NOTE: A minor may not
register an account or purchase securities in his or her name alone.) See the table of common registrations on the last page of these
instructions. Because registrations establish clear ownership and survivorship rights, we recommend that you consult the Bureau of
the Public Debt when you have questions about the proper wording. Please call us at 304-480-7711 and choose Option 4.
ADDRESS
Provide a complete address, including ZIP Code. All mailings (including notices, statements, confirmations, checks [where
permitted], and tax reporting documents) will be sent to this address.

2. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Provide the Taxpayer Identification Number required on tax returns and other documents submitted to the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). For individuals, this is the Social Security Number (SSN) of the person whose name appears FIRST on the account. The SSN of
a minor or incompetent is required for accounts established in a fiduciary capacity for these individuals. In the case of a partnership,
company, organization or trust, use the Employer Identification Number (EIN) assigned by the IRS. (If you are not a United States
citizen, please attach IRS Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI.)
To use Electronic Services for Treasury Bills, Notes, and Bonds, you must have a Legacy Treasury Direct account and a
Taxpayer Identification Number. If you’re not a United States citizen and want to use our electronic services, you need an Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). To apply for an ITIN or just obtain more information, visit the Internal Revenue’s web page at
www.irs.gov­­or call 215-516-4846.

3. TELEPHONE NUMBERS
Please provide the telephone numbers (including area codes) where you may be contacted if there are questions about this request
or your account.

4. PAYMENT INFORMATION
Enter the following information:
• ROUTING NUMBER (your financial institution’s ABA identifying number)
• FINANCIAL INSTITUTION (the name of the institution to which payments are to be made)
• NAME ON ACCOUNT (the name as it appears on the account at your financial institution)
• A
 CCOUNT NUMBER (the account number at your financial institution)
Remember to mark your account type (checking or savings).

Try using Pay Direct ®—a secure way
to buy securities without checks.
It’s easy! Just ask your financial institution
to verify if your account can accept debit
transactions. We’ll withdraw the exact
amount from your bank account to pay
for whatever security you’ve bought.

Payments to you will normally be made by direct deposit to the financial institution you designate. (This is also the account that will
be debited when you choose Pay Direct as the method of payment on your tender.) Payments will be made by check if a payment is
due to you before we have confirmed direct deposit arrangements for your account. If both the Legacy Treasury Direct account and
the receiving financial institution account are in the names of individuals, then at least one of the individuals named on the Legacy
Treasury Direct account must also be named on the deposit account at the receiving financial institution. The ROUTING NUMBER
can be obtained at your financial institution or found on the bottom line of a check (see following example). When providing your
ACCOUNT NUMBER, please include hyphens. A hyphen is generally represented on a check by the symbol " .

COMMON REGISTRATION OPTIONS
Investors in marketable Treasury securities have a broad choice of registration options under Legacy Treasury Direct® which
are designed to address their needs and ownership situations. These options establish clear ownership and survivorship rights.
Other options for natural guardians, custodians, IRAs, and government entities are available—for guidance, call the Bureau of the
Public Debt at 304-480-7711 and choose Option 4.
TO REGISTER YOUR SECURITY LIKE THIS:

SELECT THIS OPTION:

PROVIDE THIS:

An account in the name of one individual.
Your name should appear the way you usually use it
(with at least one full given name).

Single Ownership
Mary Benson Doe

SSN

An account in the names of two people, joined by the
word “and” and ending with “with right of survivorship.”
This creates a conclusive right of survivorship. Both owners
must authorize transaction requests.

Joint Ownership with
Right of Survivorship
Elizabeth Black and Jane Brown,
with right of survivorship

SSN of the first-named
owner

An account in the names of two people, joined by the
word “and” and ending with “without right of survivorship.”
This does not create a right of survivorship. If one owner dies,
his or her share passes on to the estate, not to the other owner.
Both owners must authorize transaction requests.

Joint Ownership without
Right of Survivorship
John B. Butte and Mary B. Doe,
without right of survivorship

SSN of the first-named
owner

An account in the names of two people, joined by the word “or.”
This creates a conclusive right of survivorship. Either owner may
authorize transaction requests.

Coownership
James Black or Carolyn Black

SSN of the first-named
owner

An account in your name, followed by the words “payable
on death to” or “POD” another individual or the United States
Treasury (proceeds would then be used to reduce the public debt).
The beneficiary has no ownership rights prior to the owner’s
death. You must identify the beneficiary’s status in the registration if he or she is a minor or incompetent. The owner authorizes
transaction requests. No consent from the beneficiary is needed.

Beneficiary
Jane Investor, payable on death
to Junior Investory, a minor

SSN of the owner

Jack S. Jones, payable on death
to Ellen H. Jones

SSN of the owner

An account in the name of an executor, administrator, legal
guardian, conservator or other representative of an estate.
You must make sure the name of the estate is adequately identified in the registration. If there are several representatives, you
may omit some by using language that indicates they exist.
You may need to provide evidence when you open this type of
account. Contact your Treasury Retail Securities Site.

Estate Representative
John Smith and Joseph Jones,
Executors of the
Will of James Brown, deceased

EIN or SSN of the decedent

An account in the name of the trustee(s) of a trust.
Trusts may be created by wills, agreements, indentures, deeds,
declarations of trust, or similar instruments. You must include
language that adequately identifies the authority or document by
which the trust was created. If there are several trustees, you may
omit some names as long as you include language that indicates
they exist. You may need to provide evidence when you open this
type of account. Contact your Treasury Retail Securities Site.

Trustees
Robert C. Jones and
Mary E. Doe, Trustees
under declaration of trust
dated 9/2/76
