Lost or Expired Fair Checks

If you received a premium, award, or auction check from the Stanislaus County Fair that was lost, damaged, never received, or has expired, please complete the Fair Check Replacement Request form below.

Before submitting a request:

• Please allow up to 20 business days for processing.
• All requests must be researched and verified before a replacement check can be issued.
• Replacement checks will be made payable to the original payee unless otherwise authorized and documented.
• Do not submit multiple requests for the same check. Submitting another request will not speed up processing.
• If you have the original expired or damaged check, it must be returned to the Stanislaus County Fair before a replacement can be issued. After submitting your request, please deliver the original check to the Fair Office. Do not cash, deposit, alter, or destroy the original check.
• Providing as much information as possible will help us locate your original payment.
• Please allow the full 20-business-day processing period before contacting the Fair Office regarding the status of your request.

What happens next?

After your request is submitted, Fair staff will verify the original payment and confirm that the check has not been negotiated. If the request is approved, a replacement check will be issued. You may choose to have your replacement check mailed to the address provided on your request or held for pickup at the Fair Office.

If you select pickup, please wait until you have been notified that your replacement check is ready before coming to the Fair Office.
