Bail eligibility, paperwork, and costs
A bond is not available in every case; release may involve citation, own recognizance, cash bail, a surety bond, or continued detention. Read our bail FAQ, forms, and bail process guide. Request the full premium, initial payment, remaining balance, and any collateral terms before signing. A co-signer takes on real financial responsibility if the defendant misses court, and the premium is generally non-refundable once the bond is posted. See rates and pricing and payment plans. All bonds are subject to approval. Discounts, pricing offers, financing, and payment plans are subject to approval and on approved credit.
