What is required to sign for someone in jail?
If you wish to be an Indemnitor, or co-signer, for someone who is currently incarcerated there are a few guidelines we typically follow. Generally, but not always, we require that our Indemnitors have a job or some other type of steady income such as state assistance, social security, disability or retirement. If you do not have a steady source of income, but you have the money to bail an individual out, sometimes collateral can be substituted for employment status at our owner’s discretion. If you meet these minimum requirements, all you need to bring is yourself, photo ID of any type, a piece of mail with your current address (if you just moved recently this step can often be waived) and some type of proof-of-income whether it be a pay stub, bank statement or a print-out from the state (this step may also be waived in certain situations.) However, if you owe us money from a previous bail we require that you pay your past debt before we will let you sign for someone else.
