To start, the co-signer typically completes a bail bond application and provides identification and payment details. You will also review and sign an indemnity agreement, which explains the responsibilities connected to the bond.

Co-signers are generally responsible for making sure the defendant goes to court and follows release conditions. If the defendant does not appear, the co-signer may be financially responsible for the bond amount and related costs, depending on the agreement.

Collateral may be requested in some situations, but it is not required for every bond. If collateral is discussed, make sure you understand what is being offered, how it is held, and what is needed for it to be returned.
