7. Release: The jail completes release processing and the person is discharged when cleared.

Bail Bond Paperwork & Co-Signer Responsibilities

To start a bail bond, the paperwork usually includes an application and identity verification for the person signing. You may be asked for basic information about the defendant, employment details, and contact information so the case can be tracked properly.

The co-signer typically signs an indemnity agreement, which means they agree to be financially responsible under the terms of the bond. Co-signers are usually expected to help make sure the defendant returns to court as required and stays in contact throughout the process.

Collateral is not always required, but it may be requested depending on the bail amount and case details. If collateral is needed, the types and terms should be explained clearly before anything is accepted.
