At Speedy Immigration Bail Bonds, we understand that immigration bail bonds can be complex. We’re here to simplify the process and provide a guide to help you understand how immigration bail bonds work.
What is an Immigration Bail Bond?
An immigration bail bond is a surety bond that allows a detained immigrant to be released from custody while awaiting their immigration hearing. This bond is an agreement between the immigrant, the government, and the bail bond company to ensure that the individual will appear for all scheduled hearings.
Types of Immigration Bail Bonds
There are two primary types of immigration bail bonds:
- Delivery Bond
A delivery bond allows an immigrant in ICE custody to be released while they wait for their immigration court hearing. The bond ensures the immigrant will attend all required immigration proceedings. - Voluntary Departure Bond
This bond allows the detainee to leave the U.S. voluntarily by a specified date. If they depart on time, the bond amount is refunded.
How Do Immigration Bail Bonds Work?
Eligibility for an Immigration Bail Bond
To qualify for an immigration bail bond, the detainee must:
- Have a clean record with no serious criminal history.
- Pose no threat to national security.

Application Process
- Contact a Bail Bond Company: The detainee or their family contacts a licensed bail bond company, like Speedy Immigration Bail Bonds, specializing in immigration bonds.
