Like any legal process, posting bail requires you to give information to your bondsperson to proceed. Unfortunately, there are fraudulent companies out there that are looking to take advantage of you. It’s important to know what to expect from a licensed agency, so you are not giving out your personal information to the wrong people.
Here’s what will be expected from you when you decide to submit a bail bond application:
- The first piece of information you will need to provide is your full legal name as well as your date of birth. This helps your bond agency determine that you are a real human being.
- You’ll also need to give specifics of your criminal charges, your booking number, and your location on your bail bond application. This helps the agency you’re working with locate you in the court system.
- You may be asked to provide the amount of bail you’re going to need to post; however, with the information given, your bondsperson will be able to figure out the correct amount.
- Once all the information is obtained, you can expect the agency to let you know exactly how much you’ll need to provide for services to continue and what your options are for bonds and repayment.
After submitting your bail bond application, you may need to provide some sort of collateral to the company. It’s crucial to ensure that the bond agency you are working with is legit to prevent being scammed. Doing some research on the agency you choose before sharing information with them can help you avoid problems affecting your bond and your finances.
