Subject Instruction 

2 Letter of Credit Number List the referenced letter of credit number, to which you are issuing 

the automatic renewal rider, as assigned by the issuing bank. 

3 Length of Extension Enter the length of time for which the letter of credit will be 

automatically renewed by the rider. For example, enter “One Year 

or “12 Months.” The rider will amend the referenced letter of 

credit for an indefinite period, until such time as the bank elects not 

to renew the letter, and notifies the Regional Office by certified 

mail. 

An automatic renewal rider form should not be used if the bank 

desires to extend the letter of credit to a specific, referenced date 

(for example, for a 12 month period to expire at the end of that 

time). In that circumstance, the bank may issue an amendment on 

its letterhead, referencing the full name of the principal, the 

effective date and number of the letter of credit, and the date the 

letter of credit will expire. 

4 Name of Bank, City, State Enter the name of the bank and the city and state where it is 

located. 

5 Telephone Number Enter the telephone number of the bank that issued the letter of 

credit.

form.
