Sending Money to Someone at Lowell CI: Why You Must Be on the Approved Visitors List (and How to Get Approved)
Trying to send money to someone at Lowell Correctional Institution by money order? There's one rule that catches people off guard: your money won't go through unless you're on their Approved Visitors List. Here's what that means and how to get approved.
To send money to someone at Lowell CI by money order, you have to be on that person's Approved Visitors List. This isn't just about visiting - it applies directly to money orders. The Florida Department of Corrections points you to the Visitation Application Form as the way to get your name added. Skip that step and mail a money order anyway? You're setting yourself up for delays, or the payment simply won't be accepted.
- Get the Visitation Application Form - the money-order instructions specifically direct you to download the Visitation Application Form and fill it out so your name can be added to the Approved Visitors List.
- Fill it out completely and sign it - incomplete or unsigned applications can slow everything down.
- Submit the completed application to Lowell CI - you can submit the form by e-mail or by U.S. Mail to the institution where you’re requesting to visit (Lowell CI). For e-mail submission, Lowell CI uses: VisitappLowellCI@fdc.myflorida.com.
Note: For Lowell CI, you can submit the visitation application by e-mail to VisitappLowellCI@fdc.myflorida.com or send it by U.S. Mail to the institution.
Money Order Deposit Requirements
- ✓ Copy of your driver’s license
- ✓ Copy of your state identification card
- ✓ Copy of your passport
When you fill out the Money Order Deposit Form, include a valid email address and your mailing address. If either one is missing (or not valid), the money order won’t be processed - so take a minute to double-check those fields before you send anything out.
Good to know: You don’t need a JPay account to send money orders.
Practical Tips Verification Proof
- ✓ Verify the incarcerated person’s name is entered correctly on the Money Order Deposit Form
- ✓ Verify the incarcerated person’s DC# is entered correctly on the Money Order Deposit Form
Since you must be on the Approved Visitors List to send money by money order, hold onto proof that you applied and were approved - whatever confirmation you receive. Keep your money order receipt and a copy of the ID you included too. If there's ever a question about why a payment didn't go through, having those records ready makes sorting it out much easier.
