What happens after an arrest
What We Do

Law enforcement officers follow specific guidelines when booking you in jail after apprehending you. The process includes capturing your identification details, fingerprints, and mugshots for future reference. The law detention officers also run background checks to determine whether you have committed any crimes in the past.

If you have an existing criminal record, it is factored in your bail amount. After running background checks and verifying your identity, the officers will disclose the charges you are to face. This process is then followed by the determination of your bail amount. To obtain the exact amount, officers have to refer to the standard bail schedule, a formulated chart that shows varying bail amounts depending on your charged offense.

After an arrest, the jail books the person, records charges, and either sets bail from the county schedule or holds the person for a court hearing. A family can pay the full cash bail to the jail or court, or they can hire a California-licensed bail agent. That agent, if they accept the case, posts a bond through a surety and charges a premium that belongs to that licensee — not to this website.

Jail release timing is controlled by the sheriff and the court, not by a webpage.

This domain publishes general information about how bail works in California and a phone number families can call after an arrest. It is not a bail bond agency. “24 Hour Online Bail Bonds” is not an approved California DBA. This website does not write bonds, does not appear on a power of attorney, and does not collect premium, collateral, or online payment.

800-930-8999 is answered by California-licensed bail agents who work for independently owned licensed companies. The agent who picks up should give you their name, their agency’s legal name, and their license number before quoting.

When you or a loved one faces arrest, options to secure your release from jail may be limited. You may end up spending more time behind bars due to a lack of money or assistance with posting bail.

California Bail Bond Rates and Qualifying Discounts

A licensed California bail agent posts the full bail amount with the court. The cost to the family is a non-refundable premium based on rates the surety company has filed with the California Department of Insurance, plus any actual, necessary, and reasonable expenses allowed by regulation. For many bonds, that filed premium is most commonly 10% of the bail amount.

Some clients may qualify for a preferred or discounted premium when those rates are filed by the surety and the applicant meets the surety’s written eligibility rules. Qualification is reviewed at the time the bond is written and is not guaranteed. Categories we commonly review include:

Retained Lawyer Discount
Sometimes, you may have a lawyer helping you through the arrest process. He/she may take on several services that we otherwise handle, including filling out bail application forms. Therefore, we are happy to offer our services at a discounted price, thanks to your attorney’s help throughout the process.

AARP Discounts

If a private attorney is already handling the case and can assist with paperwork that the bail agent would otherwise complete, some sureties file a preferred rate for clients with retained counsel. Eligibility and the exact premium depend on the surety’s filed rates and the facts of the case.
Read more
Homeowners may qualify for a preferred premium when that rate is filed with the California Department of Insurance and the property and title information meet the surety’s underwriting guidelines. Owning a home does not automatically reduce the rate.
Read more
Teachers, active or honorably discharged military members, and law enforcement officers may be eligible for a preferred rate when that category is included in the surety’s filed rates and proof of status is provided. We offer 24/7 licensed bail service to help families start the release process after the court has set bail.
Read more
Current union members may qualify for a filed preferred rate when the surety lists union membership as an eligible category. Valid membership documentation is typically required at the time the bond is written.

AARP members may qualify for a preferred premium if that discount is part of the surety’s filed rates and current membership can be verified. Age alone does not create a discount unless the filed rate schedule says so.

Online California Bail Information Services — Start the Process 24/7

At 24 Hour Online Bail Informaion, families can find California bail information after hours, on weekends, and from another city.

Online service does not replace the jail or court. A surety bond still has to be accepted by the booking facility, and release time depends on jail processing, holds, warrants, medical clearance, and court hours. What we can do is provide free bail information.

A bail bond is not a transfer of the full bail amount to a “department of justice.” The court sets the bail figure, a surety undertaking for that amount. You pay a separate, generally non-refundable premium based on rates the surety has filed with the California Department of Insurance, plus any actual, necessary, and reasonable expenses allowed by regulation.

How Bail Works

When the indemnitor and the payment method clear the verification steps, a bond company can accept the premium through common electronic channels. Some options that currently are used include debit or credit card, PayPal, Venmo. Cash remains available if you prefer to arrange an in-person payment and receipt with a bond company.

These methods pay a premium and allowed charges. They are not a substitute for the bond the jail or court must accept, and a completed online payment does not by itself release anyone from custody. Then a bond company can issue a receipt for premium collected and can provide copies of the payment record on request.

Electronic payments are typically subject to identity checks, available limits on the platform, and anti-fraud review. If a payment is delayed, reversed, or declined, the bond cannot be treated as funded until good funds are confirmed.

Can Bail Bond Documents Be Signed Electronically

Required bail agreements and indemnity forms can often be reviewed and signed electronically when California law and the surety allow e-signatures for that document. The forms to read before signing are often posted on bail bond company websites and available via email or fax. An e-signature is used only after the signer has had a chance to review the premium, collateral terms (if any), and obligations if the defendant misses court.

If a surety or a particular jail still requires a wet signature or original paperwork, the bond company should tell you before you pay.

Payment Plans and Posted-Bond Timing

Defendant's do not pay the court’s full bail figure to us unless they are choosing cash bail. For a surety bond clients pay the filed premium. If a payment plan is offered, the down payment, schedule, and any allowed fees need to be disclosed in writing first.

After a bond is posted and the jail accepts it, release is controlled by the facility—not by the bail agent. Night and weekend bookings can take longer than a weekday daytime release even when the agent’s paperwork is already complete.

How to Start a Bail Bond by Phone, Any Hour

Call a licensed agent and provide the defendant’s name, booking facility, and bail amount as set by the court or bail schedule. We do not set the bail and we do not decide the charges; those come from the court and the arresting agency. We use the public booking information to help families.

Phone and online intake allows bond companies to post bail quickly. “Posted by phone” means the agent can prepare and submit the bond paperwork remotely or after-hours posting. It is not a promise that the defendant will be walking out in a set number of hours.

Information Needed to Start a California Bail Bond

Whether you are the defendant or a family member calling for someone in custody, a licensed agent needs enough booking and contact details to locate the case, confirm the court-set bail, and quote the surety’s filed premium. We do not set the bail amount or the charges. Those come from the court and the arresting agency.

Have this information ready if you can. Missing items can slow the file, but you can still call us and we will work with the jail’s public booking record:

Full legal name as it appears on the booking or ID
Date of birth
City or county of arrest and the jail or police facility holding the person
Booking number, if you have it
Known charges or case number, if listed
Bail amount shown on the booking or bail schedule, if posted
A reachable phone number and email for the indemnitor (the person signing and paying)
Current address of the indemnitor, and employer information if the surety’s underwriting asks for it

We use this information to write the bond, verify identity, and comply with surety and California Department of Insurance requirements. It is not a public listing, and providing it does not guarantee release.

How the Online Bail Bond Process Works

Most files follow three agent-side steps. The jail still controls when the person is actually released.

Complete the bail application online or by phone and review the indemnity agreement.
Confirm eligibility, the filed premium (and any allowed expenses), then pay by an approved method or arranged payment plan.
We submit the surety bond to the facility. Release happens after the jail accepts the bond and finishes its own checkout process—not the moment payment clears.

24 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.
