Someone Was Just Arrested in Orange County — What Should I Do?
Start by gathering the person's full legal name, date of birth and the name of the arresting agency, if known. Recent arrests may not appear immediately because the arresting agency must complete transportation, intake, medical screening, fingerprinting, record processing and classification procedures. Available booking and bail information may take several hours to appear. If you cannot locate the person or the current system does not display the information you need, call Post It Bail Bonds at (657) 223-6262. We can attempt to locate available public booking, custody and bail information and explain the next steps when bail is available.
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Approximate arrest time
- City or arresting agency
- Jail or facility, if known
- Booking number, if available
- Charges or bail amount, if already known
Orange County Inmate Locator and Booking Assistance
Families searching for an Orange County jail inmate may need more than a name search. Depending on what information has been processed and made available, an inmate lookup may help identify the person's booking number, custody status, housing facility, arresting agency, court information, release status or bail amount. The current Orange County Sheriff's Inmate Information System may not display every detail, including inmate charges. Information can also be delayed while a recently arrested person is being booked. Post It Bail Bonds can help families review information available through public and agency-provided sources.
Information We May Need
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Arresting city or agency
- Approximate date and time of arrest
- Booking number, if available
Information That May Be Available
- Booking number
- Current custody status
- Housing facility
- Arresting agency
- Alleged booking charges, when available
- Bail amount or bail status
- Court location or scheduled appearance
- Release status
Charges shown in a booking or custody record are allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Booking, charge, bail and release information can change. Confirm important information with the responsible government agency.
How to Find an Orange County Inmate's Charges and Bail Amount
Bail information is not always available immediately after an arrest. The arresting agency and Orange County jail system must first process the person's booking and determine whether bail is available under a warrant, court order or applicable bail schedule. Orange County publishes a Uniform Bail Schedule for reference, but calculating bail can be complicated. Multiple charges, enhancements, warrants, holds, court orders and the circumstances of the case can affect the amount. A judge may also modify bail or order that a person be held without bail when legally authorized. Before attempting to pay cash bail or purchase a bail bond, verify the defendant's full name, booking number, custody location, full bail amount and acceptable method of payment.

Cash Bail or an Orange County Bail Bond?
Cash Bail
The full amount is deposited directly with the authorized government facility or court using an accepted payment method. The government, not Post It Bail Bonds, controls acceptance, retention and return of cash bail. Confirm the exact amount, payee, identification requirements and accepted payment method before arriving.
Surety Bail Bond
A licensed bail bond agency submits a bond guaranteeing the defendant's required court appearances. The customer pays the premium and may be required to provide signatures, identification, payment arrangements or collateral documentation. Premiums, discounts, down payments, payment plans and collateral requirements are subject to applicable filed rates, qualification and underwriting approval.
Own-Recognizance Release
In some cases, a defendant may be released on a promise to appear without posting cash bail or purchasing a surety bond. Post It Bail Bonds does not determine eligibility for release on recognizance.
