How to Get a Bail Bond in Santa Ana, CA
If you have never done this before, here is the process from the first phone call to release.
- Find out where they are being held. Santa Ana PD arrests usually start at the city jail. Sheriff’s and other agency arrests go to the IRC. The Sheriff’s online inmate locator now requires an account and does not show charges, so it is often faster to call us with the person’s full name and date of birth. Our California inmate locator also explains each county’s search.
- Wait for the booking to finish. At the IRC, the Sheriff’s Department says charge and bail information is usually available within about 2–6 hours of booking.
- Get the bail amount. Bail is set from the Orange County Uniform Bail Schedule based on the most serious charge. Unlike Los Angeles County, Orange County still attaches a dollar figure to most bookable offenses. A judge can raise or lower it at arraignment.
- Call a licensed bail agent. We confirm the amount, explain the cost, and check for holds such as probation, parole, or immigration holds that would block release. See police holds, ICE holds and no-bail situations.
- Sign the bail bond paperwork. A cosigner signs the indemnity agreement and pays the premium, usually 10% of the bail, or 8% if you qualify. Paperwork can be signed electronically. Here is what you will need and what a cosigner agrees to.
- We post the bond. The bond is filed with the jail. The IRC accepts bail bonds 24 hours a day.
- Release. The Sheriff’s Department reports an average release time of about 4 hours after bail is posted, typically 2–6 hours. Make sure the person knows their court date. Missing it forfeits the bond. See what happens after posting bail.

Santa Ana Bail Bonds FAQ
How do I get a bail bond in Santa Ana?
Call a licensed bail agent with the person’s full name, date of birth, and the jail holding them. The agent confirms the bail, a cosigner signs and pays the premium, and the bond is posted. At the IRC, bonds are accepted 24 hours a day.
Where is someone taken after a Santa Ana arrest?
Santa Ana Police arrests are booked at the Santa Ana City Jail, 62 Civic Center Plaza. Arrests by the Sheriff and most other agencies go to the Intake Release Center at 550 N Flower St.
