How Online
Bail Bonds Work
An online bail bond is a standard Alabama bail bond — posted at 10% of the bail amount (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) — completed through a remote, paperless process instead of an in-person office visit.
M&J Bail Bonds handles the entire process by phone, electronic signature, and digital document delivery. You do not need to visit our office. Our agents come to you — or complete everything remotely — so the bond is posted as fast as possible regardless of where you are.
Electronic signatures are legally valid in Alabama under the Alabama Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, so every standard bond document can be signed from your phone or computer.
What The M&J Remote Bail Process Looks Like
Everything is handled by phone and electronically — no printing, no scanning, no fax, and no need to visit an office.
Alabama Uniform Electronic Transactions ActStep 1 — Call Or Text
A licensed agent answers immediately at (833) MNJ-BAIL — any hour. Give us the defendant's name and county. We start immediately.
Step 2 — We Locate The Record Remotely
We access the booking system and confirm the exact charge, the bail amount, and any holds or conditions. No need for you to go to the jail or courthouse.
Step 3 — Electronic Paperwork
All bond documents are sent electronically to your phone or email. E-signature is accepted — no printing, no scanning, no fax.
Step 4 — Payment By Phone
Pay the 10% premium remotely — credit/debit card over the phone, Zelle, or ACH bank transfer. No need to come in with cash or a money order.
Step 5 — Bond Posted, Loved One Released
Our agent posts the bond at the jail and you receive confirmation electronically. Typical release: 2–6 hours after posting.

Mobile Agent Dispatched When Needed
If a physical signature or in-person step is ever required, we dispatch a mobile agent to you — home, work, or the jail itself — so you still never have to visit our office.

License Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
Electronic Signatures Are Legally Valid In Alabama
Under the Alabama Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, an e-signature carries the same legal weight as a signature on paper. Every standard bail bond document can be signed remotely from your phone or computer.
Often Faster Than Coming In Person
Electronic paperwork eliminates travel time and office wait times entirely. In many cases, the bond is posted faster remotely than it would be with an in-person office visit.

What Does An Online Bail Bond Cost In Alabama?
The remote process does not change the cost of the bond. You pay the same state-regulated 10% premium whether the paperwork is signed in our office or on your phone.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Misdemeanor Bonds
Bail: $500 – $3,000
Your cost: $50 – $300
02Standard Felony Bonds
Bail: $5,000 – $15,000
Your cost: $500 – $1,500
03High-Dollar Felony Bonds
Bail: $15,000 – $50,000+
Your cost: $1,500 – $5,000+
04Federal Bonds
Bail: Varies by case
Your cost: 15% premium
05Immigration Bonds
Bail: Varies by case
Your cost: 15% premium
How The Math Works
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) sets the standard bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bail amount, whether the process happens in person or remotely. That is the non-refundable fee paid to M&J Bail Bonds to post your bond. On a $5,000 bail, your cost is $500. Alabama also adds state administrative fees on top — our agents walk you through the exact total by phone before anything is signed.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
Payment Plans
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Collateral Options
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
Multiple Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.
