Deal ONLY with a licensed bail agent. All bail agents listed on ForBailUSA.com have been pre-screened for licensing at the time they were listed. As an added protection, ask to see the bail agent's license and identification prior to any bail transaction.

The bail agent should charge you only the legal rates. Additional charges should be itemized and explained to your satisfaction.

Ask for an itemized receipt for all charges.

Make sure you receive a copy of all signed contracts and agreements.

If financing is provided, take time to read and understand the terms of the agreement prior to signing.
