# 3214.15 What kind of financial guarantee will BLM accept to back my bond?
We will not accept cash bonds. We will only accept:
(a) Corporate surety bonds, provided that the surety company is approved by the Department of Treasury (see Department of the Treasury Circular No. 570, which is published in the *Federal Register* every year on or about July 1); and
(b) Personal bonds, which are secured by a cashier's check, certified check, certificate of deposit, negotiable securities such as Treasury notes, or an irrevocable letter of credit (see §§ 3214.21 and 3214.22).
