The Kentucky Notice of Bail Credit is a form used by bail agents to provide notice to courts and other criminal justice entities of a bail payment. It is used to inform the court that a bond or bail has been posted and that the defendant is ready to be released from custody. There are two types of Kentucky Notice of Bail Credit: (1) Surety Bond, and (2) Cash Bond. A Surety Bond is a guarantee that the defendant will appear in court and abide by the conditions of bail. A Cash Bond is a payment of the full bail amount in cash, which is held until the defendant appears in court. The Notice of Bail Credit must be filed with the court by the bail agent and include information such as the date of payment, amount paid, and the name of the bail agent. It is important to note that the Kentucky Notice of Bail Credit does not guarantee the release of the defendant, but rather serves as a record of the bail payment.
