Having someone get arrested in San Diego while you're out of state can be a stressful and upsetting situation. You may feel helpless and unsure of what to do next. In this article, we will discuss what you can do if you're out of state and need to bail someone out in San Diego.
- Find Out the Arrestee's Bail Amount
The first step in bailing someone out in San Diego while you're out of state is to find out their bail amount. The easiest way to get the bail information about an arrestee is by using the Who's In Jail lookup feature on the San Diego County Sheriff's Department website. Once you know the bail amount, you can determine how much money you need to pay for bail.
- Find a Reputable Bail Bond Company in San Diego
Next, you'll need to find a reputable bail bond company in San Diego. Allergic To Handcuffs is the highest rated bail agency in San Diego according to Yelp. You can check the California Department of Insurance website to ensure the company you choose is licensed and if they have had any negative legal actions brought against them. Here is a link to the CDI's License Lookup page. Allergic to Handcuffs has been licensed in the state of California since 2012.

- Electronically sign the bail paperwork.

We will get the appropriate information to fill out our paperwork. Once we have it filled out, we will send it to you via Adobe Echosign so you can sign on your phone or your computer.

- Pay the Bail Bond Premium
The last step in bailing someone out in San Diego while you're out of state is to pay the bail bond premium. The premium is typically 10% of the total bail amount, which is non-refundable. You can pay the premium using a credit/debit card, Venmo, CashApp or Paypal. Whatever is most convenient for you. We can also setup a payment plan so this doesn't cause financial stress. Once the payment is handled, we will post the bail bond and the arrestee will be released from custody. This process could take anywhere from 4 - 12 hours. It's all completely dependent on how quickly the sheriffs are processing arrestees.
