Because each and every case is different when you post bail you are given “terms of release”.  These terms spell out specific requirements and guidelines for you to follow while you await your hearing or court date(s).  Typically if you are not permitted to travel while out on bail it will be mentioned in your terms of release.  However, if it is not specifically mentioned in your terms of release you should talk with your bail bond agent.  They will be able to clarify whether or not you should travel domestically or they may be able to request special permission for you to travel.  Whether or not you are permitted to travel while out of bail can also depend on the situation.  In the event of a family emergency you may be able to travel domestically.
