How to Post Bond at St. Charles County Jail: Lobby ATM, Online, or Courthouse

St. Charles County Jail supports three ways to post bond. You can pay at the JailATM kiosk in the Corrections lobby, post bond online through the JailATM website, or go through the courthouse if the case qualifies. The courthouse option only works for cases in the St. Charles County Court System (11th Judicial Circuit). Not sure which method fits your situation? Most families start with the lobby kiosk or the online option, then use the courthouse route once they've confirmed it's the right jurisdiction.

The courthouse option only applies if the charge falls within the St. Charles County Court System (11th Judicial Circuit). When it does, you can post bond at the courthouse at 300 N. Second St., St. Charles, MO 63301.

Where they'll come out: Once bond is processed and release is complete, the person exits through the side door on Adams Street.

Quick Checklist

  • ✓ Confirm the case is within the St. Charles County Court System (11th Judicial Circuit) before you head to the courthouse option.
  • ✓ Have the inmate’s full name ready for the lobby kiosk or the online JailATM option. If you know their booking number, keep it handy too.
  • ✓ Use the JailATM website or the Corrections lobby JailATM kiosk to post bond. The lobby kiosk can also add funds to an inmate’s account, and it does not dispense cash. The JailATM website can be used to place bail, add funds to inmate accounts, and access video call services.
  • ✓ Plan your pickup around the side door on Adams Street, since that is where the released person exits after processing is complete.
