How To Bail Someone Out From Another State

Posted by ABC Bail Bonds

Why are bail bonds necessary?

It’s already stressful enough to have someone you love behind bars or be behind those bars yourself. Can you imagine how stressful it would be if your loved one were incarcerated in another state? Well, don’t fret. It is usually very possible to bail someone out from another state. However, the process is more complicated than with regular bail bonds. So let’s break it down.

Step 1 – Gather The Necessary Information

Before you can even begin bailing someone from across state lines, you must gather all the necessary information. Make sure you have the defendant:

  • Date of birth
  • Arresting charge
  • Jail or detention center location
  • The arresting agency (police department, sheriff, etc.)
  • A booking number
  • The set bail amount

Unfortunately, since different states have different regulations and laws surrounding the bail process, your experience in getting a bail bond may vary. Fortunately, though, the expert bondsmen at ABC Bail Bonds can help.

Step 2 – Contact ABC Bail Bonds for Assistance

Bail is expensive. It’s even more costly to bail someone out from another state. That added expense is why (unless you’re exceedingly wealthy) it’s always in your best interest to hire a bondsman from ABC Bail Bonds for help.

Additionally, our bondsmen are well-versed in bail laws and regulations in several states. So, you’re guaranteed the best help that money can buy with us. Remember, the process and costs behind bail differ from state to state. So, having someone who knows those processes is always in your best interest.

Step 3 – Jump Through All The Extra Hoops

Bailing someone out from another state involves extra steps (for good reasons). Generally, you must go through additional steps to verify your identity. You will need to sign several documents confirming said identity. Additionally, you must guarantee the court that you will pay (and can pay) if the arrested person tries to skip bail.

Also, just like an in-state bail bond, you must complete and file all the necessary paperwork. However, since you’re not (usually) close enough to the defendant’s location to do so in person, you’ll have to do so electronically. Unfortunately, electronic paperwork has a nasty little habit of disappearing, too.
