Contact us now24 Hour Online Bail Information in California
If a family member is in jail in Southern California, you can call a licensed bail agent and start a surety bail bond file with the booking name, facility, and court-set bail. We do not set bail, dismiss charges, or control when the jail releases someone.
24 Hour Online Bail Information works through California Department of Insurance–licensed bail agents. After-hours and online intake are for the application, signatures, and payment of the premium. The premium is based on rates the surety has filed with the CDI and is generally non-refundable. The bond itself is an undertaking posted with the jail or court; it is not a transfer of the full bail amount.
We handle bail information requests for bookings in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Diego County, and San Bernardino County. Ask an agent for the filed premium that applies to that surety and case, whether a preferred-rate category on the filing may apply, and that release still depends on the facility accepting the bond. Call 800-930-8999.
