How to post a bond with a Johnson County bondsman

If you need assistance posting bail for someone arrested, Smith American Bail Bonds can help you. To get started, call 317-531-5447, and you will be connected to a professional bondsman. They will be able to guide you through the process and ensure that everything is taken care of smoothly and efficiently. The Bail Bonding Agent will begin by asking for the defendant's name and date of birth so that they can conduct a thorough jail inmate search. This will help them collect all of the necessary information, including the defendant's charges, so they can move forward with posting the bond on the defendant's behalf.

 

Once all of the information has been collected, you will be required to become an indemnitor, also known as the signer or cosigner of the bond. The bondsman will explain what this means and what you need to meet the requirements. They will ensure that you understand everything clearly and answer any questions. You can trust Smith American Bail Bonds to provide reliable, professional service when needed.

The Requirements

- Age Requirement: You must be 18 to apply for bail bond services. This is a legal requirement for a contract with the bail bond company.
 

- Identification: You should have a valid state ID or be a permanent resident to prove your identity and residency. This is required to ensure that you are who you say you are and have a fixed address.
 

- Employment History: You must have been employed for at least three months to six years to demonstrate your financial stability. This is required to show that you have a source of income and can repay the bail bond amount. If you are currently unemployed, you may need a co-signer. This is someone who guarantees that they will pay the bail bond amount if you fail to do so. However, it should not have been more than three months if you have been unemployed.
 

- Payment: You must be able to pay 8% or 10% on the bond. This amount varies depending on the type of bond and the state where you seek bail bond services. This payment is non-refundable and is paid to the bail bond company as a fee for providing you with the bail bond services.
Documents: You must complete the bail bonding indemnitor application and other required documents. The application requires you to provide personal information such as your name, address, phone number, and social security number. You will also need to provide financial statements such as bank statements, pay stubs, and tax returns. These documents help the bail bond company assess your eligibility for a bail bond and determine the risk involved in providing you with bail bond services.
