How to Send Money to FDC SEATAC (WA)

The Account Number for FDC SeaTac combines two pieces of information: the inmate's eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by their last name. So it should look like 12345678DOE, with the last name attached right after the number.

You'll also need routing details that tell MoneyGram the payment is going to the Bureau of Prisons. Use Receive Code 7932, and enter the Company Name as Federal Bureau of Prisons with the City & State as Washington, DC.

Double-check before you pay: Make sure you have the correct eight-digit register number and use the inmate's full committed name as the beneficiary. Even small typos can cause delays or misapplied funds.
