3. Bail is set: Bail may be set on a schedule or by a judge, depending on the situation.
4. Contact a bondsman: You reach out to start the bond process and confirm the bail amount and requirements.
5. Complete paperwork: A co-signer (if needed) completes an application and signs the required agreements.

Bail Bond Paperwork & Co-Signer Responsibilities

To start a bail bond, you’ll typically complete an application and provide identification. You’ll also discuss payment options and review the indemnity agreement, which explains responsibilities tied to the bond.

A co-signer is usually responsible for making sure the defendant follows all court requirements, including appearing for every court date. The co-signer may also be responsible for fees or costs if the defendant does not comply with the court process.

Collateral may be requested in some situations, but it is not always required. If collateral is needed, it should be clearly explained before any agreements are signed so you understand what is being held and under what conditions it is returned.
