How to....Post Bail for an Inmate

Bail money can be sent by mail to the Lincoln County Jail or dropped off at the jail (251 West Olive Street, Newport, Oregon 97365).

We accept US money in the following forms:

• Cash (for the exact amount)
• Western Union money orders in the exact amount of the bail made out to the "Lincoln County Sheriff's Office" and sent to Newport, Oregon as a destination (c/o Lincoln County Jail, 251 West Olive Street). If the Western Union was paid in cash, it will generally be available more quickly than if it was charged on a credit card.
