Step 1: Find Out Where They Are Being Held
Most people arrested in Minneapolis are taken to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center (HCADC) at 350 South 5th Street. You can confirm this by searching the Hennepin County Sheriff's inmate roster online or by calling the jail directly. If you need help locating the person, call us.

Step 2: Get Their Name And Date Of Birth
The bail agent needs the defendant's full legal name exactly as it appears on their ID, along with their date of birth. This is what we use to pull up their record, find the charges, and confirm the bail amount.
Step 3: Find Out The Bail Amount
The bail amount appears in the inmate search results once booking is complete and bail is set. If bail has not been set yet, the person may need a bail hearing in front of a judge, which typically happens within 36 to 48 hours. Call us and we will monitor the situation.
Step 4: Call A Minneapolis Bail Bond Agent
Call us at 000-000-0000. Give us the name, date of birth, and any information you have about the bail amount or charges. We will look up what we do not already have.
Step 5: Pay The Bail Bond Premium
The premium is 10% of the bail amount in Minnesota. If bail is $10,000, you pay $1,000. We accept multiple payment methods and offer payment plans for qualified clients if you cannot pay the full premium upfront.
Step 6: Sign The Paperwork
You will need to sign a bail bond agreement as the co-signer (also called the indemnitor). This agreement makes you responsible for ensuring the defendant appears at all court dates. Read it carefully before signing.
Step 7: Wait For Release
After the bond is posted with the jail, the release process begins. Most people at HCADC are released within 2 to 6 hours. We will keep you updated on the status. The defendant will receive their personal belongings and any court date paperwork when they are released.
What To Do If You Cannot Afford The Bail Bond Fee
If the 10% premium is too much to pay upfront, ask about payment plans. In some cases we can work with you to arrange a down payment and scheduled payments. Collateral such as a vehicle may also be used to help secure a bond for larger bail amounts.
