State of California City Bail Bonds

(888) CITYBAIL

The Procedure

OVERVIEW

Essentially, the Bail bond process works as follows:

  • Your friend/relative is placed in jail and you contact CITY Bail Bonds.
    Our 24 Hour TOLL FREE number is (888) CITYBAIL
  • Your Agent will ask you for specific information about your friend/relative, including the following:
    • What is the person's full legal name?
    • What is the person's date of birth?
    • Which jail is he or she in and is it a city, county or federal jail?
    • What is the booking number?
    • What is the charge?
    • How much is the bail amount?
  • Your Agent will also require some basic information about the personal history of your friend/relative, including where they work, previous arrests, and residency information.
  • Your Agent will contact the Jail facility and determine exact bail information
  • Your Agent will arrange a meeting time, so we can complete the necessary paperwork
  • You provide City Bail Bonds with the bail premium (10% STATE LAW), and City Bail Bonds will cover the entire bail amount. (City Bail Bonds accepts cash, credit cards, and checks.)
  • Your Agent will summit the bail bonds to the Jails or Courts for the release of your friend/relative.
  • Please remain calm and be patient. Many jail facilities (especially those in major metropolitan areas) are very slow in processing and often have their telephone lines overloaded with calls. City Bail Bonds will free your friend/relative as quickly as possible.

 

DETAILED EXPLANATION

Bail Bond Agencies enable you to have friend/relatives freed from jail without requiring you to personally post the entire bail amount. A Bail Bond Agency will typically collect a specific percentage of the total bail amount (as prescribed by law) from you and guarantees the law enforcement agency and courts that your friend/relative will appear in court.

Bail Bond Agencies collect 10% of the bail amount from you as a "Premium." To have a friend/relative freed from jail, you pay this amount or arrange financing with us. (We accept cash, credit cards, and checks.)

Once we receive the payment, we can arrange to have your friend/relative released from jail. If your friend/relative fails to appear for their day in Court, a warrant for arrest will be issued by the courts.
