This bond is posted as security for performance and fulfillment of the bonded alien’s obligations to the government. An
acceptable surety company or an entity or individual who deposits United States bonds, notes, or cash may execute the
bond as surety. The surety is the obligor; the bonded alien is the principal; and DHS is the beneficiary of all bonds it
authorizes. The obligor guarantees the performance of the conditions of the bond. The bond’s guaranty is secured by the
amount of the bond. An acceptable surety company is one that appears on the current Treasury Department Circular 570
as a company holding the requisite certificate of authority to act as a surety on Federal bonds. An agent of an acceptable
surety company may execute the bond only if the agent attaches to the bond a currently valid power of attorney showing
the authority of the agent to act for the surety company. Powers of Attorney do not have official form numbers. They differ
from state to state and from company to company. Any agent of an acceptable surety company is a co-obligor on this
bond, and he/she shall sign as a co-obligor in paragraph D. Failure of an agent to sign as co-obligor shall result in
rejection of the bond. A co-obligor shall be jointly and severally liable with the surety company for any breach of this bond
(i.e., the liability of a co-obligor is in addition to, not instead of, that of the obligor). DHS may refuse to accept any bond
to the extent permitted by law.
INSTRUCTIONS
(READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY)
Obligors and co-obligors (if any) shall state their full name and address in Paragraph A, and shall sign the bond where
indicated in Paragraph D. Either the obligor or co-obligor, or both, may be corporate entities. In addition, an obligor who
deposits United States bonds, notes, or cash must deposit the requisite security and execute the appropriate Power of
Attorney (i.e., either Paragraph H or I). This deposit and execution may be made before two officers or employees of the
Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) who have been authorized to administer oaths pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1357, and
who shall sign as witnesses in Paragraph J. A notary public may witness the obligor's signature in either Paragraph H or I
by affixing his/her notarial seal where indicated and showing the date his/her commission expires. No seal is required
when officers or employees of the DHS witness the transaction. When a notary public witnesses the obligor's signature,
DHS witnesses must still acknowledge receipt of the security for the bond in Paragraph J.
Only the owner of record may deposit United States bonds or notes. Such bonds or notes must be negotiable and not
redeemable within one year of the date of the deposit. Any charges made by the depository for accepting United States
bonds or notes must be borne by the alien or the owner of the security.

Routine Uses: This information will be used by and disclosed to DHS personnel and contractors or other agents who
need the information to support the enforcement of immigration laws and the provision of immigration benefits. DHS may
share this information with the U.S. Treasury Department to report interest paid to an obligor, and to facilitate payments
to or collection of monies owed by an obligor. DHS may also share this information with the U.S. Justice Department and
other Federal and State agencies for collection, enforcement, investigatory, or litigation purposes, or as otherwise
authorized pursuant to its published Privacy Act system of records notice.
