ABOUT Surety Bonds
What is a Surety Bond?
A surety bond is a legal agreement involving three parties: the principal, who is the defendant needing the bond; the obligee, which is the court requiring the bond; and the surety, which is the bail bond company guaranteeing the defendant will meet their court obligations.
In a bail bond case, a surety bond ensures the defendant appears in court after being released from custody. Instead of paying the full bail amount to the court, the defendant or their family pays a percentage to a licensed bail bond agent, who guarantees the total amount. This allows the defendant to be released from jail without paying the full bail while still being legally obligated to appear in court. It is one of the most common and practical ways to secure a timely release in Missouri.
