Bail Bonds DIRECT ® Newport Beach bail agents understand this is an uncomfortable, stressful and frightening time for you. We are here to offer free bail information and make this process as easy and understanding for you as possible. Below is specific information to help guide and assist you.

Newport Beach City Jail is a short term holding facility. Once an individual has been arrested in Newport Beach, CA, the police officer will transport the arrestee to the City Jail, located at the local police department. From there, inmates are transferred to the Orange County Main Jail/Central Jail Complex in Santa Ana, California. The transfer can take place anywhere from ten minutes after the arrest to up to fifteen hours, depending on circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, the number of individuals awaiting transfer and the transportation available from Newport Beach Police Department to Santa Ana Jail. Further, Newport Beach City Jail does not house females for any period of time. No matter the circumstance, the Bail Bonds DIRECT® Company offers the possibility to avoid a transfer if we are notified in a timely manner. Below are the two scenarios for bail bonds involving an individual arrested in Newport Beach, California.

    1) Newport Beach City Jail does allow bail bond postings directly with the department, but it must be done quickly. It is important to contact Bail Bonds DIRECT® as soon as possible from the time you are aware that your loved one has been arrested. This is so that in the case you do wish to bail them out, we can begin the process quickly and efficiently by notifying the Newport Beach Police Department jail that the individual arrested will be bailed out and so we request that they hold them at the Newport Beach Station’s City Jail rather than transferring them to Santa Ana Main Jail. If the individual has not yet been transferred and Newport Beach agrees to hold the individual, they will then go through the booking process directly at the police department. This means the individual will be classified by the alleged crime(s) they are accused of (penal code, vehicle code, health and safety code, business and professions code, etc). The County of Orange has a pre-determined bail schedule that is the basis for the amount of bail that is set, determined by the violating code (look up a code). Once the bail amount is assigned, the arrested individual has his or her fingerprints taken on a machine called a live scan. The live scan is connected to the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) national database. The live scan and DOJ compares records and will report if the arrested individual has any warrants, bail holds and/or AKA’s to the Newport Beach Police Department. Upon completion of the live scan and the returned results, the arrestee has then "cleared fingerprints" and is ready to be bailed/bonded out as long as there are no "holds". If a hold is placed, it means the arrestee is unable to bail/bond out because another law enforcement agency, parole/probation officer and/or Judge has Ordered that the person be held without the option to bailing/bonding out until they make at least one Court appearance.

    Once the individual has cleared fingerprints, Bail Bonds DIRECT® can post the Newport Beach bail bonds directly with the Newport Beach Police Department and the individual will be released and free within 15-30 minutes. We understand that it is not always an easy decision whether to bail someone out; but again, it is important to contact us immediately so that this option is available to you to avoid the long, draining and frustrating process of being transferred to the Santa Ana Jail. Upon posting the Newport Beach bail bond, the arrestee will be released from the City Jail within 15-30 minutes.

    2) Should you decide to wait and not act quickly, the arrested individual will be transferred to Orange County Main Jail/Central Jail Complex in Santa Ana, CA. The Orange County Main Jail is a maximum security correctional facility that holds approximately 5700 male and female inmates. If the arrestee is transferred, it often takes 6-12 hours to process the inmate at Orange County Main Jail/Central Jail Complex, where they will go through the booking process. Although the arrested individual may have already "cleared fingerprints" at Newport Beach PD, they will need to clear the system again at the Orange County Central Jail, where it takes significantly longer due to the high capacity of inmates. After they have completed the booking process at Orange County Main Jail/Central Jail Complex, Bail Bonds DIRECT® is then able to post the bond at the Cashier’s Office of the Orange County Main Jail/Central Jail Complex. After the bond has been posted, it then takes another 6-12 hours approximately for the individual to be released. This process is long, draining and frustrating.

Once you become aware of the arrest, despite not feeling sure of your decision to hire our services, we offer a free consultation/free bail information and will contact the Newport Beach Station City Jail to inquire on the arresting charges, the bail amount and request they keep the inmate at the Newport Beach City Jail rather than immediately transferring them to the Orange County Main Jail/Central Jail Complex. Once we obtain the bail information, we will call you back and discuss your options. If you are low on finances for the Newport Beach bail bond, we can still help. In addition to taking all major credit cards, we offer payment plans with no financing costs depending on your credit rating.

If you have made the decision to bail your loved one out, we have local professional Newport Beach bail bond agents to meet you and take you through the bail process quickly. We will receive a future court appearance date that is predetermined by the Jail, usually within one month of the arrest date. Individuals arrested in Newport Beach, California will most likely appear at the Harbor Justice Center Court located at 4601 Jamboree Rd in the city of Newport Beach, CA 92660. Upon his or her release, our bail agent will meet with the arrested individual, go through the required paperwork with him or her, notify them of their new court appearance and any other requirements our office may implement.

We ask that you simply contact us, speak with one of our local agents and give us the opportunity to make this bail bond process calm, comfortable and FAST for you and your loved one.
