Found out there's a warrant for your arrest in Miami? Or was your loved one picked up on an old warrant? Here's what you need to know about bail when there's an outstanding warrant involved.
Outstanding Warrant Bail in Miami
If you or a loved one has been arrested on an outstanding warrant in Miami, the legal process begins immediately within the Miami-Dade County system. Because Miami is located in Miami-Dade County, anyone arrested on an active warrant is booked into the Miami-Dade County jail system, and the resulting case is handled by the Miami-Dade County court. Under Florida law, an outstanding warrant indicates that a judge has already authorized an arrest, meaning law enforcement must take the individual into custody as soon as they are located.
Once booked into the county jail, the defendant will not have to wait indefinitely to learn their status. Under Florida law, individuals arrested on a warrant are entitled to a first appearance hearing before a judge within 24 hours of their arrest. During this initial hearing, the judge will review the warrant, officially notify the defendant of the charges, and determine the conditions of release, which typically includes setting a specific bail amount.

Securing a release from a Miami-Dade County jail quickly is crucial. By working with a licensed bail bond agent referred by QuickBail, you can post bond immediately. Instead of paying the full bail amount to the court, you pay a standard, non-refundable 10% premium to get your loved one home fast.
Outstanding Warrant Bail Amounts in Miami

Turning Yourself In
If you know there's a warrant and you haven't been arrested yet, consider turning yourself in. It sounds counterintuitive, but judges in Miami look more favorably on people who surrender voluntarily. Your lawyer can arrange it so you turn yourself in during business hours when bail can be posted immediately, minimizing your time in jail.
