Helpful information to have ready
Defendant’s full legal name
Date of birth
Arresting agency or detention facility
Charges, if known
Bond amount and type, if available
Booking or inmate number, if provided
Start by confirming where the person is being held. Do not assume they remain near the location where the arrest happened, especially if the arrest occurred in Corolla, Carova, Moyock, Knotts Island, or another community away from Maple.

1. Ask whether booking has been completed.
2. Confirm whether a bond has been set.
3. Write down the bond amount and release conditions.
4. Contact a licensed bail bond agent if a secured bond is required.
In North Carolina, a judicial official determines the conditions of pretrial release after an arrest. Depending on the case, those conditions may include an unsecured bond, release to a designated custodian, a secured bond, house arrest with electronic monitoring, or other court-ordered restrictions.

A person detained in Currituck County may be held at:
The facility houses individuals awaiting trial and coordinates inmate transportation when required. Its listed responsibilities also include providing contact information for bail bond agents.
Before traveling to the detention center, call to confirm that the person is in custody there and ask whether bond information is available.
After bail is posted, the release process does not happen immediately. Before someone can be released from custody, the detention center must complete several internal procedures and reviews.
1
The defendant is processed
After an arrest, law enforcement completes the booking process and records the defendant’s identifying and case information.
2
Release conditions are determined
A judicial official reviews the case and determines whether the defendant may be released and under what conditions.
3
You contact a bail bond agent
If the court requires a secured bond, call Amistad Bail Bonds. We will review the available bond information, explain what may be required and answer your questions before you make a decision.
4
The bond is posted
After the necessary paperwork and arrangements are completed, the bail bond agent can post the bond. The detention facility then handles its own verification and release procedures.
Release times vary based on booking, facility workload, additional holds and the conditions ordered in the case. We do not promise an exact release time.
Requirements depend on the bond amount and the circumstances of the case. The person arranging the bond may be asked to provide:
A valid government-issued photo ID
Current address and contact information
Employment or income details
Information about the defendant
A qualified cosigner
Payment or collateral when applicable

We explain the requirements before completing an agreement. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about the paperwork and your responsibilities as a cosigner.

Help by phone

Release from custody does not end the case. The defendant must follow every condition listed on the release order and attend all required court dates.
Keep copies of the bond paperwork, record the next court date and notify the bail bond agent if the defendant’s address or contact information changes. Questions about criminal charges, defenses or court strategy should be directed to a licensed attorney.
Currituck County Court Information
Court matters in the county are generally handled through:
Currituck County Courthouse
2801 Caratoke Highway
Currituck, NC 27929
Court schedules can change. The North Carolina Judicial Branch recommends contacting the Clerk of Court to verify court information.
Contact the detention facility and provide the defendant’s full legal name and date of birth. If the bond has already been set, ask for the amount, bond type and any additional release conditions.
Yes. You can call while waiting for bond information. We can explain what details to collect, but the bond cannot be posted until the release conditions are available.
Not always. Much of the initial information and paperwork may be handled by phone. We will tell you if identification, signatures or other arrangements are needed.
North Carolina law allows a bail bondsman to charge a premium of up to 15% of the bond amount. The exact amount you pay and whether collateral or a cosigner is required depend on the bond and the agreement. Call us with the bond amount, if available, and we will explain the cost before you sign anything.
There is no guaranteed release time. The detention center must verify the bond, complete its paperwork and check for any additional holds before releasing the defendant.
Call first to confirm where the defendant was transported. The person may not remain near the location of the arrest, and the Currituck County Detention Center is located in Maple.
Amistad Bail Bonds provides bail bond services and general information about the release process. We do not provide legal advice or guarantee release, case results or processing times.
