Submit your Bail Bonds claim details for a free, no obligation case review
Get Started:
There are usually a number of bail bond forms that one must fill out to post a jail bond for another person. In most cases, persons posting jail bonds use a bondsman, who will have all of the appropriate bail bond forms on hand and can walk you through the process. Once completed, the bondsman will submit the bail bond forms to the appropriate party at the jail or holding facility for processing.
The bail bond forms will typically ask you to identify yourself and the person for whom the bail bond is being issued, and will require your contact information at home and work. Bail bond forms explain the legal obligation that a bail bond involves on the part of the person paying for the bond and will require that the party posting the bond sign in acknowledgment of those responsibilities.
After the bail bond forms are submitted to the proper authorities, it is typically one to three hours before the detained person can be released, as the bail bond forms must be reviewed and verified, then properly filed. Bail bond forms are extremely important, as they guarantee that the detained party will be present at all court-mandated appointments, and will follow any specific regulations outlined in the bail bond forms. If a violation of the agreement reached in the bail bond forms occurs, the person who signed the forms may forfeit the entire sum of the bail, which is often ten or more times the cost of the bond.
In some circumstances, and especially in the case of a high bail price, reviewing bail bond forms with an attorney may help you to better understand the terms of the bond and to make the proper legal decisions. Some bail bond forms are available online, or you may wish to contact a bondsman and request that the bail bond forms be sent to you or your attorney via fax or email.
