The process of posting a bail bond involves a contractual undertaking guaranteed by a bail agent and the individual posting bail. The bail agent guarantees to the court that the defendant will appear in court each and every time the judge requires them to.

Typically a family member or friend of the defendant will cosign. Collateral is not always required for a person to be bailed out of jail. Of ten a person can be bailed from jail on the signature of a friend or family member. Cosigner needs to be currently employed and have a permanent address and show proof of both.

After an agreement is reached the bail agent posts a bond for the amount of the bail, to guarantee the defendant's return to court.

If the defendant forfeits (skips) bail, the cosigner is immediately responsible for the full amount of the bail. If the defendant is located and arrested by the bail agent the consigner is responsible for all expenses the bail agent incurs while looking for the defendant.
