Evading the space cops in Starfield can be difficult if you don’t clear your bounty. Here’s how to remove your bounty, including where to pay it off, how much it costs, and if you can remove it without paying.

While exploring Starfield, you’re free to carve your own path, but some choices might bring you unwanted legal attention. If you’re caught, there’s a price to pay for freedom.

If you do, bounties will be placed on your head. Naturally, however, if you act outside the law, you can expect some punishment. While there’s not exactly a wanted-level system like in GTA, the more criminal activities you engage in, the worse the repercussions.

So if you’re committed to the life of crime, or you just accidentally tapped your trigger in public, here’s how to remove your bounty in Starfield.

You’re going to want to pay off your bounty before facing jail time in Starfield.

Where to clear bounty in Starfield

To remove a bounty in Starfield, simply head to the nearest Trackers Alliance Self-Service Bounty Clearance Kiosk.

It’s a mouthful, but those handy Kiosks can be found all across the galaxy. Essentially every major location with a bustling community is sure to have at least one, so knowing their exact whereabouts is vital.

If you find yourself in a pickle, just heading to one of these Bounty-Clearance Kiosks does exactly what the name suggests. For a fee, you can clear your name and have any pending charges dropped, regardless of your actions.

Here are a few places to find a Kiosk that will clear your bounty:

New Atlantis – Viewport Bar
Cydonia – Broken Spear Bar
Cydonia – Deimos Staryard (in orbit)
Neon – Astral Lounge
Hopetown – Pit Stop Bar
Akila City – Hitching Post Bar
Andromas 1 – Civilian Outpost

It’s worth noting Andromas 1 has a Civilian Outpost with no United Colonies or Freestar Collective presence, so you can remove your bounty without being attacked.

How much does it cost to clear a bounty?

Depending on what exactly you’re in trouble for, the cost of removing a bounty in Starfield can range from a measly 600 credits all the way to above 250,000.

If things get too out of hand, or you simply refuse to pay up, expect jail time to be next up if you’re caught.

Can you clear a bounty without paying credits?

You can clear your bounty in Starfield without paying if you don’t mind a little jail time. If you surrender to the guards, you will have the choice to go to jail.

If you accept going to jail, expect any stolen items and contraband to be confiscated. Some time will pass, but you will keep all your credits and your bounty will be cleared.

You will, however, incur an XP penalty for serving time. So make sure you choose wisely whether you want to spend credits or XP. There is no other way to clear your bounty in Starfield without paying credits.
