The official state list of bail bondsmen will be posted here shortly.

Posting requirement violated?

Per RSA 598-A:3, this list is supposed to be displayed prominently in all courts, jails, and police stations, to wit:—

598-A:3 List of Professional Bondsmen. – The secretary of state or designee shall furnish all superior court clerks, all district courts having authority to accept bail, all jails, and all police stations with a list of the names of all persons registered as professional bondsmen and shall notify such clerks, courts, jails, and police stations of any change in a bondsman’s status. The secretary of state shall update the list as necessary, but not less than once per year. No person, other than the secretary of state or the secretary of state’s designee, shall alter any list furnished under this section. The list shall be displayed prominently and visibly to defendants in all courts, jails, and police stations.

We’ve already come across one jail where this list wasn’t posted, Belknap County Jail. If you come across another court, jail, or police station in violation of the State’s own laws, let us know!
