Recently we demonstrated the formation of ultracold polar LiCs molecules in deeply bound levels of the X{sup 1}{Sigma}{sup +} ground state, including the rovibrational ground state [J. Deiglmayr et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 133004 (2008)]. Here we report on an experimental determination of the permanent electric dipole moment of deeply bound LiCs molecules. For X{sup 1}{Sigma}{sup +}, v{sup ''}=2, and v{sup ''}=3 we measure values of {mu}=5.5(2) D and 5.3(2) D, respectively.
