You may have heard the terms bail bond agent or bail bondsman, but aren’t sure if there is a difference. Well, we are going to answer that question today in this blog!
A bail bondsman/agent is an individual who will pledge the money to the court for the release of someone that has been arrested. The bail bondsman is providing the surety that the person accused will show up for all of their court dates, otherwise, they will be responsible for the entire amount of bail. In the State of Indiana, an individual is able to be licensed as a bail bondsman and can act as this surety. So basically there is no difference between a bail bond agent and a bail bondsman, they are the same thing, just different terms. However, a bail bond company may not be the same thing. A company will need to have bail bondsman in order to actually write bail bonds. But they could also have support staff and an office, etc.
