Instructions for Public Charge Bond
USCIS
Form I-945
Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
What Is the Purpose of Form I-945?
You should use this form to submit a public charge bond. Aliens determined to be inadmissible under section 212(a)(4) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act may, if otherwise admissible, be admitted to the United States upon posting a suitable
and proper public charge bond in the amount and under the conditions set by the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). This public charge bond is posted as security for performance and fulfillment of the financial obligations of a
bonded alien to the U.S. government.
General Instructions
How to Fill Out Form I-945
1. Type or print legibly in black ink.
2. Answer all questions fully and accurately. If you do not completely fill out this application or fail to submit required
documents listed in the Instructions, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may reject your application,
or it may create delays. Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example,
if you have never been married and the question asks, “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print
“N/A” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for
example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print
“None” unless otherwise directed.
Part 1. Obligor and Agent/Co-Obligor Information
Please read the Obligor and Agent/Co-Obligor descriptions provided in Part 1. and then complete Item Numbers 1. -
15. with the information requested. For Surety Bonds, please include the name of the surety company in the “Name of
Obligor” field.
Part 2. Information About the Alien for Whom the Bond Is Furnished
Provide the biographic information of the alien requested in Part 2.
Item Number 2. Alien Registration Number (A-Number) (if any). Provide your A-Number. We use your A-Number to
identify your immigration records. It begins with an “A” and can be found on correspondence you have received from the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or USCIS. If you do not have an A-Number, type or print “N/A.”
Item Number 3. USCIS Online Account Number. Providing the applicant’s unique USCIS Online Account Number
(OAN) helps them manage their online account. You have an Online Account Number if you previously filed an
application, petition, or request online or by mail and received a receipt number that begins with IOE. If you filed a form
online, you can find your OAN in your USCIS Online Account profile. If you mailed your form, we still created an OAN
for you. You can find the number at the top of the USCIS Account Access Notice we sent you. The OAN is not the same
as an A-Number. If you do not have a receipt number beginning with IOE, you do not have an OAN.

Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, for purposes of the bond. If the attorney
or accredited representative does not submit Form G-28, USCIS will not be able to communicate with the attorney or
accredited representative on behalf of the bonded alien or send a copy of the communication concerning bonds to the

USCIS Compliance Review and Monitoring
By signing this form, you, the obligor or agent/co-obligor acting on the obligor’s behalf, has stated under penalty of
perjury (28 U.S.C. section 1746) that all information and documentation submitted with this form are complete, true, and
correct. You also authorize the release of any information from your records that USCIS may need to process the bond
and consent to USCIS verifying such information.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the authority to verify any information you submit to establish that the
bond should be accepted. Our legal authority to verify this information is in Title 8 U.S.C. sections 1103, 1182, and 1183,
and 8 CFR Parts 103 and 213, as well as Title 26 U.S.C. 6109, Title 31 U.S.C. 7701 and Executive Order 9397. To ensure

Agency verification methods may include, but are not limited to: reviewing public records and information; contacting
through written correspondence, using the internet, fax, other electronic transmission, or telephone; making unannounced
physical site inspections of residences and locations of employment; and interviewing people. USCIS will use the
information we obtain to assess compliance with the laws and to determine whether the bond should be cancelled.
Subject to the restrictions under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(16), USCIS will provide you with an opportunity to address any adverse
or derogatory information that may result from a compliance review, verification, or site visit before a decision is made
on your request. For a visit after your request is approved, USCIS will provide you with an opportunity to address any
adverse or derogatory information which may result in revocation or termination of an approval.
