How DUI bonds work

A DUI or DWAI arrest can be frightening and confusing, especially for a family facing the process for the first time. Call with the person's name, facility, and any booking information available. An agent can review the official bond status and explain the surety-bond paperwork in plain language.

DUI and DWAI are different charges, and the court determines bond eligibility, amount, and release conditions for the specific case. The official jail or court record is the source for the current status.

When a surety bond is available, a licensed agent will provide the premium, payment terms, co-signer duties, and any collateral requirements in writing before you sign.

A court may attach release conditions to a DUI or DWAI bond. Depending on the case, those can include things like abstaining from alcohol, monitoring, or check-ins — the specifics are set by the court, not by us. We'll make sure you understand any conditions that apply so nothing catches your family by surprise. For questions about the charge itself or how conditions affect the case, an attorney is the right person to ask.

What we'll need to get started

The full name of the person in custody and where they're being held
The booking or case number and bond amount, if you have them (we can help look these up)
A qualified co-signer (indemnitor) who is 18 or older

Call any hour with the information you have. If this is your first time dealing with an arrest, an agent will explain the bond paperwork one step at a time.

What the co-signer agrees to

Usually a family member or close friend co-signs the bond as the indemnitor. That person promises the defendant will appear at every court date and follow any conditions the court set, and accepts financial responsibility for the full bond if they don't. It's a real, legal responsibility — and we'll explain all of it in plain language before anyone signs. No surprises.
