Frequently asked questions
How do I bail someone out of Albany County Detention Center?
Call Bail City Bail Bonds at (307) 223-5417 or start the online application. We confirm the bond amount with the jail, qualify you as the signer, send e-sign documents to your phone, and our local agent posts the bond at Albany County Detention Center in Laramie. Most releases happen within a few hours of posting.
How much does a bail bond cost in Albany County, Wyoming?
Rates are 10%–20% of the full bond amount, paid once as a non-refundable premium. A $5,000 bond is $500 to $1,000. Payment plans start as low as 1% down, major discounts can be applied with approved collateral, and collateral is not required in most cases. The rest of the bond is guaranteed by us to the court as long as the defendant appears at every hearing.
How long does it take to get released from Albany County Detention Center?
Once the bond is posted, release depends on how busy booking is. Most releases from Albany County Detention Center happen within one to four hours. Weekends and holidays can take longer. Our agent stays in contact with the jail and keeps you updated until the person walks out.
Is there an online inmate roster for Albany County?
No public online roster was available for Albany County Detention Center when this page was built. The fastest way to confirm custody is to call the detention center at (307) 755-3521 or let Bail City check for you at (307) 223-5417, 24 hours a day.
Which court handles bail hearings in Albany County?
Misdemeanors and initial appearances are heard in Albany County Circuit Court at 525 Grand Ave, Room 400, Laramie, WY 82070. Felonies are bound over to 2nd Judicial District Court, which is part of the 2nd Judicial District of Wyoming, at 525 Grand Ave, Ste 305, Laramie, WY 82070. Bond can be set by either court, and for many charges the jail uses a bond schedule so bail can be posted before the first hearing.
What is the difference between a cash bond and a surety bond in Wyoming?
A cash bond must be paid in full to the jail or court by the person posting it, and is returned at the end of the case minus any fees or fines. A surety bond is posted by a licensed bail agent like Bail City for a non-refundable premium of 10%–20%, and the agent guarantees the full amount to the court. If the jail lists the bond as "cash or surety," either option works. If it says "cash only," a bail agent cannot post it.
Do I have to come to Laramie to post bail?
No. Bail City handles everything remotely: documents are signed electronically from your phone, payment is made online or by phone, and our local agent posts the bond at Albany County Detention Center for you. Family members in other states use this process every day.
What happens if the defendant misses court in Albany County?
The court can issue a bench warrant and begin forfeiture of the bond. Call your Bail City agent immediately. We can often help get the person back in front of the judge in Albany County Circuit Court or 2nd Judicial District Court before a warrant is served, and keep the bond in good standing.
Do I need collateral for a bail bond in Albany County?
Not usually. A qualified signer with a steady income and a local address is enough in most cases. Collateral is optional, and when you do pledge approved collateral such as a vehicle title or real estate, major discounts can be applied to your rate. We explain everything up front before you sign.
Can Bail City post bail at Albany County Detention Center on a weekend or holiday?
Yes. Bail City Bail Bonds has live agents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all major holidays. We post bonds at Albany County Detention Center whenever the jail is accepting them, which in Albany County is around the clock.
What information do I need to start a bail bond in Albany County?
The defendant's full name and date of birth, which jail they are in (Albany County Detention Center), the bond amount and type if you have it, and your own contact information and ID. Our online application walks you through it in about four minutes; or call (307) 223-5417 and an agent takes the details over the phone.
Who can be a cosigner on a Albany County bail bond?
Any adult with a verifiable income, a stable address, and valid government ID can usually sign. The cosigner, called the indemnitor, is responsible for making sure the defendant appears in court and for the premium. Cosigners do not need to live in Wyoming.
Where is Albany County Detention Center located?
Albany County Detention Center is at 420 E Ivinson Ave, Laramie, WY 82070, operated by the Albany County Sheriff's Office. The main number is (307) 755-3521.
Can you tell me the charges and bond amount?
Yes. Once booking is complete we can tell you the charges, whether they are misdemeanor or felony, the bond amount and type, and any holds from other counties. Then we quote the exact bail bond premium.
What is a walk-through bail bond?
A walk-through (or walk-in) bond is arranged before you turn yourself in. The paperwork is signed and the premium paid ahead of time, our agent meets you at the jail, and the bond is posted the moment booking is finished, so you are usually released within a couple of hours.
What kinds of warrants are issued in Albany County?
Bench warrants for missed court dates in Albany County Circuit Court or 2nd Judicial District Court, warrants for unpaid citations from municipal courts in Laramie and Rock River, petitions to revoke probation, and arrest warrants for new charges filed by the county attorney.

Who should fill out the application?
The signer (indemnitor), the person who will be responsible for the bond. That is usually a family member or friend of the person in custody. The defendant's details go in step one; your own go in step three.
