How Do Bail Agent Bonds Work
A bail agent bond is a three-party agreement among:
- Principal: Bail agent (you)
- Obligee: State regulatory authority
- Surety: Company issuing the bond
This type of license bond serves as a financial guarantee you will perform your duties as a bail agent lawfully. If a third-party experiences financial loss due to unethical practices, they may make a claim against your bond to recoup the financial loss.
If their claim is valid, you’re responsible for reimbursing the surety for the amount that was paid to the claimant.
Bail Agent Bond vs. Bail Bond
The differences between a bail agent bond and bail bond are based on who they serve and their purpose. A bail agent bond is a licensing requirement for bail bond agents to operate whereas a bail bond is an alternative defendants may use to be released from jail until their hearings.
