The San Diego County Sheriff's Department annually assembles a Bail Bond Agency List. The list is posted in all our county detention facilities and on the Jail Information on our public website.

Applications will be accepted in April and November of each year.  All agencies must resubmit their applications regardless of their current status on our list. Applications will be accepted for a period of 30 days, starting April 1, 2024, through April 30, 2024.  The list will be published on June 1, 2024. The submission process will open again on November 1, 2024, for a period of 30 days.  The completed list will be published on January 1, 2025.

All Bail Bond Agencies, regardless of their current status, are required to apply during each bi-annual submission period in order to be placed on the new list. Requests are to be submitted via the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department website or click here. Business agency name(s) can be listed no more than four (4) times.

Requests must contain the following information: 

• Agency name and/or Doing Business as (DBA)
• One business agency name reflecting an office's main number.
• Up to three additional entries for the same company that reflect area code prefixes in the County of San Diego.  The area code prefixes allowed are (619), (858), (760) or (442).
• Phone numbers may not be repeating and must be different from one another.
• Multiple DBAs with the same phone number will not be accepted.
• License number and expiration date.
• Valid business address and phone number for the agency/DBA to be listed.
• Name, phone number, and email of contact agent.

Inaccurate or incomplete information may jeopardize placement on the list.

The Bail Bond Agency List will be listed in alphabetical order by Bail Bond Agency Name/DBA and will include county, city, and telephone number information.

Bail bonds must still be delivered in-person to any custody information office located at any San Diego County Sheriff's Department Detention Facility.

***Due to a recent change in the phone system provider for our incarcerated population, calls from inside our detention facilities are coming from the number 727-349-1561.  It has come to our attention some mobile carriers are identifying this number in their spam settings and calls from incarcerated persons may be filtered out.  To ensure you receive these calls, please program this number into your phone or contact your phone provider to unblock this number.  We are working toward additional solutions and will post any additional changes here. ***
