ARTICLE 3 PROCEEDINGS FOR FORFEITURE OF BONDS OR RECOGNIZANCES

17-6-73. Address of principal and surety on bond or recognizance.

Every bond or recognizance given to secure the appearance of any person in any criminal proceeding shall have entered thereon the mailing address of the principal and each surety.

(Code 1981, §17-6-73, enacted by Ga. L. 1982, p. 1224, § 2.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Bond without surety's address is valid.

- Although the language of the statute requires that the surety's address be included on the bond, that language is directory, and a bond which does not include the surety's address is enforceable against the surety. Jam Bonding Co. v. State, 184 Ga. App. 246, 361 S.E.2d 238 (1987).

Purpose of the address requirement is to facilitate identifying and locating the surety, and the absence of the address does not in and of itself affect the validity of the bond contract. Jam Bonding Co. v. State, 184 Ga. App. 246, 361 S.E.2d 238 (1987).
