In the event correspondence from NS&I is returned undelivered, for security reasons no further correspondence is sent. Investments remain registered in the owner’s name, and there is no time limit on claims, which are paid with interest.
If you have Premium Bonds and have changed address without notifying National Savings and Investments, they will update their records and check for any outstanding prizes due you at that time. There is no time limit for claiming prizes, except in the case of owners that are deceased. Any Premium Bonds held by a deceased investor remain in the prize draws for up to 12 months after the date of death. After that, they are no longer eligible.
Note: National Savings Stamps and Gift Tokens are repaid at face value. NS&I doesn’t have individual customer records for these, so they aren’t covered by the tracing service. To redeem send them to:
