2. Booking: Personal information is recorded, fingerprints/photos may be taken, and the case is entered into the system.
3. Bail is set: Bail may be set on a schedule or after a court review, depending on the situation.
4. Contact a bondsman: A Berkeley bail bondsman can explain options and what’s needed to start a bond.
5. Application and agreement: The co-signer completes required forms and agrees to the conditions of the bond.
6. Bond is posted: Once approved, the bond is arranged and submitted to the proper facility or court as required.
7. Release: The facility completes its release process, which can take additional time even after the bond is posted.

Bail Bond Paperwork & Co-Signer Responsibilities

Starting a bail bond usually involves an application and basic identity verification for the person signing. You may be asked for a government-issued ID and a method of payment that fits the agreement.

A co-signer typically signs an indemnity agreement, which means you’re promising the defendant will appear for all required court dates. Co-signers may also be responsible for staying in contact, helping the defendant follow the conditions, and notifying the bail agent if contact is lost.

Collateral is not automatically required in every case. If collateral is requested, it is usually discussed up front so you understand what may be accepted and when it may be returned, based on the terms of the bond and court completion.
