How to Mail Money to Someone in Florida DOC Custody (step‑by‑step)
Mailing money to someone in Florida DOC custody is straightforward once you know which vendor to use and how to fill out the payment correctly. Follow the steps below to avoid the most common delays and rejections.
Florida uses different processing addresses depending on the type of payment. For restitution and other court-ordered payments, you'll send a money order, cashier's check, or certified bank draft through CorrectPay. JPay handles mailed money orders separately and uses its own Florida address. Getting the vendor right matters. The payee name, form requirements, and processing timelines differ between the two, so start by matching your payment type to the correct vendor and address.
Note: For court-ordered payments, the instrument must be made payable to CorrectPay. CorrectPay does not charge a fee for sending money by money order, cashier’s check, or certified bank draft.
Make Payment Details
- ✓ For court-ordered payments, make the money order, cashier’s check, or certified bank draft payable to "CorrectPay"
- ✓ Write the offender’s full name (first, last, middle initial) and DC ID on the memo line (or the "used for" line)
Double-check your amount before purchasing the instrument. Money orders max out at $999.99. If you need to send more, use a cashier's check or certified bank draft instead (those go up to $10,000). Don't try to exceed the money order limit.
Mail court-ordered payment checks or money orders to: FL Court Ordered Payment, PO Box 25009, Bradenton, FL 34206-5009. For JPay money orders, use a different address: JPay, PO Box 260130, Hollywood, FL 33026.
Note: JPay processes all approved money orders within 10 business days of receiving them.
For court-ordered payments in Florida, CorrectPay accepts money orders, cashier's checks, and certified bank drafts. The cap is $999.99 per money order and $10,000 per cashier's check or certified bank draft.
Warning: If your amount exceeds the limit for that payment type, CorrectPay may reject it. Rejected payments get returned to the mailing address you listed on the deposit form.
What Not to Include
- ✓ Do not send cash
- ✓ Do not send business or employer checks
- ✓ Do not send checks issued through online bill pay services
- ✓ Do not include any letters or notes with your payment, they will be discarded
Build in extra time around weekends and holidays. CorrectPay doesn't process deposits on weekends or state and federal holidays, and delivery timing also depends on depositor verification. JPay processes approved money orders within 10 business days after receiving them. Once you factor in mailing time, the total wait can be longer than you'd expect.
If your court-ordered payment gets rejected, the reason is usually something fixable. Common causes: you left off your name, telephone number, email, or mailing address on the deposit form, or the amount exceeded the limit for your payment type. When CorrectPay rejects a payment, they return the funds to the address you provided.
