How to Send Mail to Someone at Larimer County Jail: Digital Scans, the P.O. Box, and the 'BN#' Booking Number
Sending mail to someone at Larimer County Jail works a bit differently than you might expect. Personal mail gets scanned and delivered digitally, and you'll need to address the envelope a specific way—including the "BN#" booking number—or it won't reach the right person.
Personal mail at Larimer County Jail doesn't arrive as paper. Letters, pictures, and drawings are scanned digitally and delivered to inmates on tablets. The jail partners with ViaPath Technologies (formerly GTL), and their GettingOut system handles digital mail, messaging, phone calls, and visits.
Note: Larimer County Jail uses ViaPath Technologies (formerly GTL) and the GettingOut system for inmate communications, including digital mail delivery to tablets.
Regular personal mail needs to go to the jail's designated P.O. Box - not the physical jail address. Send it to: P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131.
Missing the booking number is the most common reason mail doesn't get delivered. You must include "BN#" followed by your loved one's booking number (like "BN#11111"). No "BN#" with the correct number? The mail won't make it through.
- ✓ Larimer County Jail, CO
- ✓ John Smith BN#11111
- ✓ PO Box 247
- ✓ Phoenix, MD 21131
You can find the booking number using the Larimer County Jail Inmate Information search - just enter the inmate's name. Once you have it, copy it exactly into your address line using the "BN#" format so the mail gets matched to the right person.
Important: Attorney-client privileged mail is exempt from the digital scanning program and should not be sent to the Phoenix P.O. Box.
Attorney-client privileged mail goes directly to the facility, not the scanning P.O. Box. Use this address: Larimer County Jail (Inmate's Name) 2405 Midpoint Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525
Once your mail arrives at the P.O. Box, it gets scanned and delivered digitally to your loved one's tablet through the GettingOut system.
Troubleshooting Verification
- ✓ Re-check the “BN#” line: it must say “BN#” followed immediately by the correct booking number.
- ✓ Confirm you’re using the name spelling that appears in the Larimer County Jail Inmate Information search.
- ✓ Verify you addressed personal mail to: PO Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131 (not the physical jail address).
Tip: If you have questions about digital mail delivery through the tablet system, GettingOut/ViaPath support is the right place to ask.
