Many years ago I created this guide to help myself and others in obtaining a license. Some things have changed since then, but the basics remain the same. I heard that the 80-hour course now costs a whole lot more money and I also heard that the good doctor passed away. I don't know what else has changed over the years, but this should serve as a fairly decent guide to those who are attempting to obtain their licenses.

You may apply for a Temporary Bail Enforcement Agent License if you submit everything except for the 80-hour Bail Enforcement Agent Course Certificate; however, you will need a letter from the bail agent that you will be working for that states that you are directly employed and supervised by that bail agent. The temporary license is only valid for nine months or until you submit your certificate of completion of the 80-hour Bail Enforcement Agent Course, whichever comes first. When you receive your certificate of completion you will need to resubmit your application for your Bail Enforcement Agent License and another application fee of $125.00.
