Irvine
Bail Bonds
Irvine is the third-largest city in Orange County at roughly 307,670 residents, with an independent police department established in 1975 and its own jail at 1 Civic Center Plaza. It is also the city that contains the county's James A. Musick Facility — two very different custody systems inside the same city limits. We post at both, around the clock. 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.

Why Choose Midnight In Irvine
Licensed agents on every shift, honest answers about where your family member actually is, and financing built for families who didn't plan on an arrest this week.
Irvine Has Its Own Police Department And Its Own Jail — Plus A County Facility In Town
The Irvine Police Department was established in 1975 and is a genuinely independent municipal agency, not a Sheriff's contract operation. Its jail sits at 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606, (949) 724-7000 — a local booking point with a local records desk. Separately, the Orange County Sheriff's Department operates the James A. Musick Facility at 13502 Musick Rd, Irvine, CA 92618, a county-level jail the Sheriff describes as an 896-bed building. Both are in Irvine and they are not the same thing. A city booking on Civic Center Plaza is not a county booking on Musick Road, and confusing the two is the fastest way to waste an hour on the phone.
24/7 Availability
A licensed agent answers the phone at 3 a.m. on a Sunday the same way we answer at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday. Irvine bookings do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Bilingual Agents
English and Spanish-speaking agents on every shift. Premium, cosigner obligations, and payment terms get explained in the language your family actually speaks.
No Collateral In Most Cases
Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified signature alone — no property, no pink slip. Above that, collateral may be requested depending on the charge and how the cosigner qualifies.
Affordable Payment Plans
California fixes the premium at 10% of the bail. The down payment is what flexes — as low as 1% on approved credit, with the balance on a written plan.
Licensed & Accountable
California License #1846101, with a staffed office at 965 N Vignes St #5, Los Angeles, CA 90012 covering Irvine — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Irvine
An Irvine arrest usually begins with the city's own department and its own jail, then either ends there on a bond or moves into the Orange County Sheriff's system. The bail figure comes from the county-wide schedule either way.
Arrest & Booking At The Irvine Police Department Jail
Irvine Police Department officers make the arrest and booking is processed at the department's jail, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606, (949) 724-7000. Prints, photograph, and record checks have to clear before a bond is accepted. This is a municipal booking operation, not long-term housing — the practical window to end the custody locally is measured in hours.
Charge Checked Against The Orange County Bail Schedule
Bail comes from the 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule of the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, approved by the judges under Penal Code §1269b(c) and effective January 1, 2026. Felony bail is computed per case — the highest single count plus enhancements — and misdemeanors and infractions are scheduled here too, unlike in San Bernardino County. Larceny and fraud offenses use the scheduled amount or the loss amount, whichever is higher.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (213) 295-7796 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Irvine city booking and the Orange County system, tell you where they are right now, and read back the exact bail amount and premium before you pay anything.
Qualification & Approval
A short cosigner conversation — employment, residence, and how the balance gets paid. Most approvals take minutes, and most Irvine bonds require no collateral.
Bond Posted Where They Actually Are
We post at the facility holding the defendant, whether that's the city jail or the county jail system in Santa Ana, Orange, and Irvine after transfer. Release from a municipal booking area is usually faster; the county facilities run a processing queue that can take several hours, longer on weekends and holidays.
Payment Plan Begins
The remaining premium is paid on the written schedule agreed up front. No surprise fees, and we remind you of every court date so the bond stays in good standing.
Bail amounts for Irvine arrests come from the Orange County 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in Orange County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Irvine
The premium is fixed by California law. The down payment is where we can help.
The Premium Is 10% — By Law
Bail premium rates in California are filed with and approved by the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. A bondsman quoting a Irvine family less than the filed 10% premium as the total cost is quoting something they can't legally deliver.
The Premium Is Earned, Not Refundable
Once the bond is posted the premium is earned in full — whether the case is dismissed at arraignment or runs two years. That's the price of the surety, not a deposit held against the bail.
The Down Payment Is What's Negotiable
Down payments start as low as 1% of the bail on approved credit. The remainder of the 10% premium is financed on a written plan with fixed installments you agree to before signing.
Collateral Isn't Usually Required
Most Irvine bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature. Larger bonds may call for collateral depending on the charge and the cosigner's file.
| Bail Amount | 10% Premium | Down At 1% |
|---|---|---|
| $20,000 | $2,000 | $200 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
The 1% figure is a down payment on approved credit, not a discounted premium — the full 10% is still owed on the payment plan. For the full 1% through 10% tier comparison and who qualifies for each, see affordable bail bonds.
Irvine Jails We Serve
Two of the three facilities below are in Irvine and are operated by different agencies. Confirm which one has your person before driving — the addresses are twelve minutes apart and the release desks are unrelated.
Irvine Police Department Jail
1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606
(949) 724-7000
The City of Irvine's own booking facility, run by the independent Irvine Police Department (established 1975). Distinct from the county's James A. Musick Facility on Musick Road, which is also inside Irvine city limits.
Where Irvine Arrestees Transfer
James A. Musick Facility
13502 Musick Rd, Irvine, CA 92618
An Orange County Sheriff's Department jail inside Irvine city limits — the Sheriff describes it as an 896-bed facility, historically lower-custody housing. County-run, not city-run.
Intake Release Center (IRC)
550 N Flower St, Santa Ana, CA 92703
The Sheriff's countywide booking and release point in Santa Ana. Most county-level Orange County releases finish here, including many that started as a city booking.

What We Need When You Call
Have these ready and we can locate the booking — city jail or county — and quote the premium on the first call.
Defendant's Full Legal Name
First, middle, and last as it appears on their ID. Nicknames slow the jail search.
Date of Birth
Prevents confusion when multiple people share the same name in the booking system.
City or County of Arrest
Tells us which jail to check first — Riverside, San Bernardino, LA, Orange, or San Diego.
Booking Number (If Available)
Not required, but if you have it, it speeds up locating the record considerably.
Cosigner Contact Info
Cosigner's name, phone, employer, and general credit range — this is what determines your financing terms.
Your Relationship to the Defendant
Family, friend, or coworker — helps us know who to loop in on updates and paperwork.
Most Common Bail Charges In Irvine
Bail is set by the Superior Court of California, County of Orange schedule, not by the city — so a Irvine booking starts from the same figures as one anywhere else in the county. The ranges below are county schedule ranges, not city-specific numbers.
DUI
County schedule range: $5,000 – $100,000
A first misdemeanor DUI sits at the low end of the schedule and can sometimes release on citation. Priors, injury, or a high BAC push the amount up fast.
View PageDomestic Violence
County schedule range: $50,000 – $100,000
Corporal injury filings book high and usually come with a protective order at arraignment. Release conditions matter as much as the bond — we walk cosigners through both before anything is signed.
View PageDrug Possession & Sale
County schedule range: $10,000 – $100,000+
Simple possession books low and often qualifies for diversion. Possession for sale and transportation book far higher, and weight or priors move the number quickly.
View PageAssault & Battery
PC §240 / §245(a)(1)
County schedule range: $25,000 – $50,000
Simple battery books at the low end. Assault with a deadly weapon is a strike-eligible felony and books substantially higher, often with additional enhancements filed.
View PageTheft & Burglary
PC §484/§487 and PC §459
County schedule range: $20,000 – $50,000
Petty theft books low; grand theft and first-degree residential burglary book substantially higher and carry felony jail or prison exposure. Burglary has its own dedicated page on this site.
View PageAbout Irvine
Irvine is a master-planned city of roughly 307,670 people in central Orange County, the county's third-largest, and consistently among the largest U.S. cities reporting the lowest violent crime rates. The University of California, Irvine, the Irvine Spectrum, and the business parks along the 405 and 5 corridors generate a daytime population well above the residential count, and a good share of local bookings involve people who work here rather than live here.
Policing is municipal. The Irvine Police Department was established in 1975 as an independent city agency and runs its own jail at 1 Civic Center Plaza, (949) 724-7000. The complication unique to Irvine is that the Orange County Sheriff's James A. Musick Facility on Musick Road is also inside the city. Two jails, one city, two agencies — a family told "he's in Irvine" still has a question to answer, and it is the one that determines where you drive.
Irvine cases are filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, with bail set from the county-wide 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule. Criminal and traffic matters arising in Irvine are designated to the Harbor Justice Center at 4601 Jamboree Road in Newport Beach, under the Orange County Superior Court Court Designation List effective June 30, 2025. What we confirm immediately on the phone is the facility, the scheduled bail for the actual charge, and whether PC §1270.1 freezes that figure until a judge sees the case.
