Search by their name
Enter their last and first name. If nothing comes up, check the spelling or leave out middle names. A very recent arrest may not show until booking is finished.
Note the bond, then contact us
Write down the bond amount and type. Call or text us with what you found and we’ll take it from there, any time of day.
Does the bond say “written promise” or “unsecured”? They may not need a bondsman at all. If you’re not sure what the bond means, call us. We’ll tell you honestly, even if you don’t need us.
What will the bond cost?
Bail bond premiums are typically 10–15% of the bond amount, and North Carolina law caps them at 15%. Enter the bond amount for an estimate, and ask about our low down payments.
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Apple Pay, Cash App and Zelle.
Estimated cost
$500
Example: 10% of a $5,000 bond.

Questions families ask
How do I find out if someone is in Union County Jail?
Call or text (980) 236-1400 with their full name (and date of birth if you have it). We look them up free, usually in about 2 minutes, and tell you the bond amount. You can also search yourself with the Union County Sheriff’s Office online inmate lookup. A very recent arrest may not appear until booking is finished.

Yes. We have a licensed bail agent in Union County and serve Monroe, Indian Trail, Waxhaw and all of Union County. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, so we can start the bond as soon as you call.
Where is Union County Jail?
The Union County Detention Center is at 3344 Presson Rd in Monroe, NC 28112. Our Monroe office is nearby at 1106 Skyway Dr. You don’t need to go there to start a bond. Call or text us first and we’ll tell you exactly what to do.
How much does a bail bond cost in North Carolina?
North Carolina law caps a bail bondsman’s premium at 15% of the bond amount. On a $5,000 bond, that is at most $750. We offer very low down payments and interest-free payment plans, so you may not have to pay it all at once. Call us for your exact quote.
How long does release from Union County Jail take?
Once we post the bond, the jail processes the release, and that timing is up to the jail. It commonly takes a few hours and can take longer when the jail is busy. The fastest thing you can do is call us now so the bond gets posted sooner.
Do I always need a bail bondsman?
No. With a written promise to appear, the person is released on their promise to come to court and nobody pays. With an unsecured bond, they sign to owe the bond amount only if they miss court, so nothing is paid up front. A bondsman is needed for a secured bond when you can’t, or don’t want to, pay the full amount in cash. Not sure which kind it is? Call us and we’ll tell you honestly.
We answer 24 hours a day.
Nights, weekends and holidays. The sooner you call, the sooner we can start.
