FAQ

What do you need to know?

You can learn more from our frequently asked questions

How do I find out where the person is detained/held in jail or have to post an immigration bond?

Please contact us as immediately with the Alien Registration number of the person being detained. We will check on his/her status with immigration services and get back to you, as soon as possible

What is an alien registration number?

Alien Registration Number (“A” Number) or Alien Number is a unique seven, eight, or nine digit number assigned to a noncitizen at the time his or her A-file is created.

How soon can the detained person be bonded out or released after they have been in custody and the bond is set?

In most cases, the detained person is released the same day.

Do I have to come to your office to post the bond?

No, in most cases, the required documents can be sent to us electronically.

Do I have to pay any fees?

We only charge a minimal fee if you use us to post a bond. There is no cost for talking to us about your case.

When do I have to pay the bond fee?

The bond fee is due after the bond paperwork has been completed.

Is the premium refundable?

No. The immigration bond fee is fully earned once the bond is posted and detainee is released.

Do I have to put up any collateral?

To post an immigration bond for someone detained at an ICE Detention facility, the indemnitor (typically a family member) is required to post the full bond amount.

What is collateral?

Collateral is anything of value that is placed with the surety agent.

What can I use for collateral?

We only accept cash collateral.

What forms of payment do you accept?

• Cash • Credit Card (all major cards) • Money Order • Cashier’s Checks • Wire Transfers

If the person is detained in a different city, how will they get home?

You must provide us with the travel arrangements made, so that we can relay the message to the detained alien.

What happens after the bond is posted and the person released?

Upon release, it is your responsibility that the person shows up for every court date set by DHS-ICE (immigration). Failure to show up at these court hearings will result in the bond being breached.

If I have put up collateral, when do I get it back?

Your collateral money is returned when the court orders that the case is resolved, and the immigration bond is cancelled with immigration services.

How do I know when the Defendant must go to Court?

Immigration services will notify the defendant by mail of their court dates. In most cases, the courts will notify the defendant at least a few weeks before the court date. It is then your responsibility to make sure the defendant knows about the court date.
