Bail bond companies are expected to be confidential. It feels great sharing your arrest information with an agent you are sure you can trust. Your bail bond agent will require specific details when securing your release from jail. Knowing you can trust the agent makes it easy for you to provide this information. The agent will want to know where you or your loved one is kept in custody. You need to know the state, county, city, and name of the jail. It will make it easy for the agent to trace the person whose release from jail they are expected to secure. The agent will also ask for the full name of the defendant and their jail number. The information will be needed when the agent contacts the jail to inquire about the defendant’s bail. The agent will need to know the total bail amount. You will be given this information on your first arraignment when the judge determines your eligibility for bail and how much it should be. If your case doesn’t need a bail hearing, the arresting officer can tell you how much bail you need to pay for your release. Your bail agent will probably want to know whether you will willingly appear in court on the set date and if you are planning to relocate to another county or state. If the bail amount is high, the agent might want you to secure the bond just to be sure of your willingness to appear and abide by the court conditions until the conclusion of your case.
