How to Send Money to District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, ID (ID)
Sending money connected to District Vi Juvenile Detention Center involves paperwork that looks more like a state payment setup than a typical jail deposit. Here's what matters most, and what to confirm before you submit anything.
For ACH or direct deposit setup tied to State of Idaho payments, you'll need a Direct Deposit Authorization form from the Idaho State Controller's Office. Submit it by mail (Idaho State Controller's Office, P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0011) or by email (servicedesk@sco.idaho.gov).
If you're filling out the combined Substitute W-9 and direct deposit paperwork, you'll need to verify your bank account details. The form requires an original voided check or a bank verification letter for your checking or savings account number. Deposit slips won't be accepted, so don't try sending one as a substitute.
Note: This covers Idaho State Controller direct deposit and W-9 documentation rules, not the detention center's specific "money on the books" process. Before sending money, confirm whether juvenile-detention-related funds go through the State Controller or are handled directly by the detention center.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Get the Idaho State Controller’s Office Direct Deposit Authorization form.
- ✓ Complete the combined Substitute W-9/direct deposit form (if that is the packet you were given).
- ✓ Attach an original voided check or official bank verification for the account (do not use a deposit slip).
- ✓ Submit the paperwork to Idaho State Controller’s Office, P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0011, or servicedesk@sco.idaho.gov.
- ✓ Confirm with District Vi Juvenile Detention Center which office should receive juvenile-detention-related funds before you send anything.
Before mailing or emailing any forms, make sure you're using the right submission method for your situation. The State of Idaho direct deposit paperwork lists both a mailing address (P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0011) and an email (servicedesk@sco.idaho.gov). Separately, confirm whether District Vi Juvenile Detention Center routes money through the State Controller process or handles it through a different detention-center receivable process.
If you can't provide a voided check, find out what counts as "bank verification." The combined W-9/direct deposit instructions require an original voided check or bank verification, and deposit slips are not allowed. Ask whether a bank letter works, whether photocopies are acceptable, and whether any part of the packet needs to be notarized.
Reminder: Fees, processing times, and whether electronic deposits are available for juvenile detention accounts aren't covered here. Get those details directly from the Controller's Office or the detention center before sending money.
