Reissue Definition
Reissue is the cancellation and retirement of a bond and the issuance of a new bond or bonds of the same series, same issue date, and same total face amount. Reissue is a transaction requested in order to change bonds' registrations, that is, to re-register savings bonds. (Note: Situations for which Series I bonds may be reissued are more limited than for Series EE and other savings bonds.)
