How It Works
7 Steps Process
How the Bail Process Works in North Carolina
1. Arrest & Booking
After an arrest, the individual is taken to a county detention center for booking, which includes fingerprints, photographs, and basic information.
2. Bond Is Set by a Magistrate
A magistrate reviews the charges and determines the bond amount based on the situation and applicable guidelines.
3. Contact Us 24/7
Once bond is set, contact us immediately. We gather the details, explain your options, and move quickly to avoid delays.
4. Complete the Paperwork
Paperwork can be completed online or in person — whichever option is fastest and most convenient for you.
5. Make a Payment
Payments are handled securely through Bailbooks or in person. We explain all costs clearly before proceeding.
6. We Post the Bond
Once everything is completed, we post the bond with the detention center and work to secure release as quickly as possible.
7. Attend All Court Dates
Court appearances are required. We provide reminders and ongoing support to help prevent missed dates.
