  4. My accounts payable check is lost, damaged, or destroyed. What do I do?
    If your accounts payable check is lost, damaged, or destroyed, then contact the Accounts Payable Department for a Declaration to Obtain Duplicate of Lost or Destroyed Warrant form. Your accounts payable representative will assist you with information needed to complete this form. Once the payee completes this form, the Accounts Payable Department will submit a stop payment request on the original warrant (check) to our bank. Replacing a lost, damaged, or destroyed check may take several days to complete. The College of Marin must receive confirmation that the original accounts payable check has been voided by our bank before we re-issue a replacement check.
