Posting a Bond for Someone at Northeast Ohio Correctional Center: verify on CeBonds and check hours

Use ICE's Cash Electronic Bonds (CeBonds) webpage to confirm whether a bond exists and what the details are. This is the official place to verify bond information - check here before you do anything else.

CeBonds isn't just for checking information. If the person is eligible, you can post the bond directly through the system. This saves time and helps you avoid mistakes that come from working with incomplete details.

CeBonds also sends electronic notifications about bond transactions. If you're on a tight timeline or coordinating with family members, these updates help you track progress without constantly refreshing the system.

Bond posting hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the time zone where the detained person is held. If you're in a different time zone, use the detainee's local time - not your own - so you don't miss the window.

Tip: Convert your local time to the detainee's time zone before attempting to post. Even a one-hour difference can put you outside the 9 a.m.–3 p.m. posting window.

Read the Bond Agreement (Form I-352) carefully before you pay anything. ICE treats this form as the official document outlining the bond's terms and conditions - it's what you're agreeing to as the obligor.

  • ✓ Read the Bond Agreement (Form I-352) start to finish before you post
  • ✓ Make sure you understand the terms and conditions you’re agreeing to as the obligor
  • ✓ Don’t rely on summaries or informal explanations in place of what Form I-352 says
Posting a Bond for Someone at Northeast Ohio Correctional Center: verify on CeBonds and check hours
  1. Verify the bond details in CeBonds - use ICE’s CeBonds webpage to confirm the bond information before you try to pay.
  2. Confirm the correct time zone and the posting window - bond posting is limited to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the time zone where the person is detained.
  3. Review the Bond Agreement (Form I-352) - this is the document that provides the bond’s terms and conditions, and it’s what you’re agreeing to.
  4. Post the bond through CeBonds (if eligible) - once you’ve verified the information, are within the posting hours, and understand the agreement, you can post through CeBonds for eligible detained people.

Note: Even when using CeBonds, timing matters. Attempting to post outside the 9 a.m.–3 p.m. window in the detainee's local time zone may prevent you from completing the transaction.

CeBonds is ICE-wide, but practical details can still vary by location. After verifying the bond in CeBonds, confirm any local procedures that might affect your timing - you don't want surprises on the day you plan to post.
