Can a “cash” bond be processed faster than other personal bonds or a surety bond?
A “cash” bond is a personal bond (BLM Form 3809-2) that is secured by a guaranteed remittance in US dollars (such as a cashier’s check, certified check, official bank check, money order, wire transfer, credit card payment, or cash). The guaranteed remittances are deposited by BLM into a Federal depository account. Acceptance of a “cash” bond can still be delayed if additional information is required or corrections need to be made. Be advised that a bond submitted with a personal check (including a company check) or a foreign check will be returned to you without action being taken by the BLM.
