BOND POSTING

 The person who is posting the bond will need the exact amount of the bond in cash, money order, cashier's check, or you may use a credit card. The credit card being used must belong to the person who is posting the bond. The person posting bond must also have a state issued photo ID. (School ID's, Sam's Club Cards or social security cards are not acceptable). There is a non refundable convenience charge on payments made with credit cards, based on the amount of the bond.

Monday - Thursday between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, bonds must be posted at the Clerk's offices at the Vanderburgh County Courthouse.

            Monday through Friday         4:30 PM – 2:00 AM

            Saturday and Sunday           9:00 AM  - 2:00 AM

Surety Bonds - In order to post a surety bond (when applicable) must contact the bail bondsman of their choice. They can be located in the phone book. Bonds specified as cash only can not be posted with a surety bond. Please verify the bond type when verifying  the bond amount.

It takes at least one hour, and sometimes longer, to get an inmate from the location of an arrest to the completion of the booking process. Until the booking is fully completed, the jail will not have any information on that person. Please wait at least one hour before calling the jail to check on charges and bond information.
