ICE Discovers Email, Makes It Official After Two Years
Published Date: 1/6/2025
Rule
Summary
Starting January 6, 2025, people who post immigration bonds and agree to electronic notices will get important bond updates from ICE online instead of on paper. This change makes it faster and easier to receive bond demands and other notices, with no extra costs involved. It’s a smooth switch that keeps things clear and up-to-date without changing the rules themselves.

ICE may serve bond notices electronically
Starting January 6, 2025, ICE is authorized to serve certain immigration bond notices electronically to bond obligors who consent. The rule names specific forms that may be served electronically, including Form I-340 (delivery demand), Form I-323 (bond breach), Form I-391 (bond cancellation), and Form 71-042 (bond breach reconsideration decision).
How electronic proof of service works and backups
When ICE sends a bond notice through CeBONDS, the system timestamps when the notice was sent and when an obligor opens it; opening the notice in CeBONDS is the recorded proof of service. If ICE cannot confirm electronic proof of service, it will reissue the notice by mail (certified mail for demand notices and ordinary mail for breach, cancellation, and other bond notices), and ICE generally will not take custody action until proof of service is confirmed.
Electronic service only with obligor consent
You must agree (opt in) to receive immigration bond notices electronically; ICE will not use electronic service for obligors who have not consented. If you do not want electronic service, you can still post bonds in-person at an ICE office and receive bond notices by mail.
