Gabi - In general terms, it means Citibank or JP Morgan/Chase, although there may be others near you as well.

I am a US citizen living overseas. Can you explain the meaning of a "bank that is incorporated in the United States?"

Yago - as reasonable as that sounds, I have no reason to think it will work unless the processing clerk simply fails to notice the difference.

I did what you advised me on February 3rd, 2010. I was at the Embassy. They signed and sealed the Public Debt Form 1522 and stamped(sealed)the Bonds. However I have found two additional Bonds. Can I add the two to the Public Debt Form 1522 and send it together with the others to the U.S.A. address, even though it wasn't stamped? They can compare the signatures.

Hoolahan - Since your daughters aren't US citizens, they don't need tax forms. I've reviewed the text at the top of this page and I still think it's pretty clear about that, but here's the step-by-step.

Assuming your daughters are minors, you, as the custodial parent, simply need to write "My daughter, [name on bond], is not a U.S. citizen" on a piece of paper and sign it in front of someone who can certify that signature (see text above). Under your signature write "Custodial parent of [name on bond]"

Next, sign the back of the bonds in front of the same person in the same way. The person doing the certification will then sign or stamp the bonds and the tax certification.

If your daughters are not minors, then they should sign the tax certification and the bonds themselves in front of the certifying officer.

All the other information you need is in the text at the top of this page.
