What Are Warrant Bail Bonds?
A plain-English breakdown of bench warrants, arrest warrants, and how each one is cleared without sitting in jail.
Bench Warrant — Issued for Missing Court
A judge issues a bench warrant when a defendant misses a scheduled court date. Under PC §978.5, the judge can issue an arrest warrant when the defendant fails to appear as promised.
Arrest Warrant — Issued on a New Complaint
An arrest warrant is issued on a new criminal complaint before any court date. It directs law enforcement to take the person into custody on the new charge.
Many Warrants Can Be Cleared Without Jail Time
For most bench warrants, the bond amount is listed on the warrant. A licensed agent can post it, clearing the warrant and setting a new court date without any time in custody.
Forfeiture Has a 185-Day Window — Act Fast
Under PC §1305, a missed court date on an existing bond starts a 185-day forfeiture window. The sooner the warrant is cleared and the defendant returns to court, the more options stay open.
What A Warrant Bail Bond Costs
| Total Bail | Standard 10% Premium | 1% Down | Remaining Financed Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $500 | $50 | $450 |
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $100 | $900 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 | $2,250 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 | $4,500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 | $9,000 |
1% down is a qualification-based tier. The full 10% premium is set by California law. A prior bond forfeiture or multiple FTAs typically move a case to a 3%, 5%, or 10% tier.

Call (213) 510-2764Down Payment Tiers
Four tiers, assigned honestly based on the cosigner's profile and the warrant's history. You'll know your tier before any paperwork moves.
1% Down
Who qualifies: Strong-credit cosigner (700+), stable employment.
Notes: Most common on a first missed court date with a clear reason.
3% Down
Who qualifies: Fair-good credit cosigner (640+).
Notes: Usual tier where there's one prior FTA.
5% Down
Who qualifies: Cosigner with limited credit but strong income.
Notes: Common where the underlying charge is a felony.
10% Down (Full Premium Up Front)
Who qualifies: No cosigner, prior forfeiture, multiple FTAs, out-of-state defendant.
Notes: Very common on warrant cases given the FTA history itself.

Honest Qualification Upfront
If a prior forfeiture or multiple FTAs take you out of the lowest tier, we tell you before you sign.
Who Qualifies (And Who Doesn’t)
What Helps You Qualify
- Cosigner with verifiable income and stable employment
- Cosigner with a credit score generally 640 or higher for our lower tiers
- First missed court date with a documented reason
- Local California address, no active out-of-state warrants
- Voluntary surrender — not picked up by law enforcement
What Moves You Up A Tier
- No cosigner available and no verifiable credit or income
- Prior bond forfeiture on any case
- Multiple prior FTAs
- Felony underlying charge
- Out-of-state defendant with no local ties
Lowest Tier
Cases Approved For 1% Down
These are the warrant profiles that land in our lowest down-payment tier. Hit most of these and 1% down is realistic.
First Missed Court Date
A single FTA with a documented reason — the cleanest warrant profile.
Qualified Cosigner (700+)
Homeowner or verifiable equity, clean FTA history.
Cosigner Requirements
Underwriting
Cases At A Higher Tier
These factors move a warrant case out of the 1% tier. They don't make clearing it impossible — they change the down payment.
Prior Bond Forfeiture
A forfeited bond on any prior case is the biggest underwriting factor on a warrant.
Felony Underlying Charge
The warrant's bail tracks the underlying charge — felony amounts run higher.
Picked Up By Law Enforcement
A custody arrest on the warrant (vs. voluntary surrender) tightens underwriting.
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
Out-of-state defendant, no verifiable income, no cosigner available.
