What is Bail Forfeiture?

The bail due for a citation is the amount of money required to guarantee your appearance in Court. If you choose to pay the bail on the citation without going to trial, it is called bail forfeiture. The citation is deemed paid, and the resulting conviction will be reported on your driving record.

It is important to remember that if you posted bail for your release and then fail to appear, you automatically forfeit your bail. This means that the money you posted is no longer yours and will not be returned to you after the criminal case has ended.
