Verify Every Case and Hold Before Paying Bail

King County currently accepts adult bail at both jail reception windows from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week.

Cashier’s Check or Money Order Checklist

• Make it payable to King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention.
• Include the full name of the person in jail.
• Include the booking or B/A number.
• Include the sender’s name and address.
• Allow time for verification before release.

Questions to Ask First

• Does the person remain in custody?
• Which facility currently holds the person?
• Is the bail amount still current?
• Are several cases or warrants involved?
• Is there a probation, immigration, state or federal hold?
• Would payment make the person release-eligible?
• Which court will later handle a refund?

After saving the B/A number, review the official King County bail instructions.
