How The Bail Bond Process Works

The bail bond process works as follows:

Bail Bonds Number 1You locate a Bail Bond Agent on ForBailUSA.com
Bail Bonds Number 2 You contact the Bail Bond Agent.
Bail Bonds Number 3 He/She will ask you for specific information about your friend/relative who is detained, including the following:
  Bail Bonds Marker What is the person's full legal name?
  Bail Bonds Marker What is the person's date of birth?
  Bail Bonds Marker What is the arresting agency (CHP, Sheriff, etc)?
  Bail Bonds Marker What county, city and state is the person being held in?
  Bail Bonds Marker What is the booking number?
  Bail Bonds Marker What is the charge?
  Bail Bonds Marker How much is the bail amount?
 
(Your Agent may also require some basic information about the accused his or her personal history, including where they work, previous arrests, and residency information.)
Bail Bonds Number 4 You provide your Bail Bond Agency with a percentage of the total bail amount (typically only 10% based upon the state where the jail is located) or try to finance it.
Bail Bonds Number 5 They will contact the jail facility and determine exact bail information and arrange to have your friend/relative released.
Bail Bonds Number 6 Your Bail Bond Agent will contact you as soon as arrangements have been completed.
Bail Bonds Number 7 You must stay readily available. Your Bail Bond Agent will probably need to contact you several times during the bail process, so they will need you to provide them with a phone number where they can reach you. They may also need you to provide them with a fax number. (You can receive faxes at many grocery stores and Kinko's Copy Centers nationwide.)
Bail Bonds Number 8 Please have patience. Many detention facilities (especially those in large metropolitan areas) are very slow in processing and often have their telephone lines overloaded with calls
