How to Mail a Money Order to Marion Correctional Institution (step‑by‑step)

Before buying a money order or filling out the deposit slip, confirm the inmate's full legal name and OID number. Getting these exactly right prevents delays or misapplied deposits. You can verify this information through North Carolina's offender search - just search by name or offender number. The tool includes filters for status, gender, race, ethnic group, birth date, and age range to help you find the correct record.

Fill-deposit-form

• ✓ Fill out every field on the deposit form, and make sure it’s legible - use blue or black ink to avoid processing delays.
• ✓ Make the money order payable to TouchPay Holdings.
• ✓ Write the offender’s full name and double-check the OID number before you mail anything.

Keep the amount within the limit: the maximum money order amount is $300.00, and it must be issued in U.S. dollars.

Dont-include-items

• ✓ Staples
• ✓ Paper clips
• ✓ Stamps
• ✓ Cash
• ✓ Letters
• ✓ Photos
• ✓ Any other items (only mail the deposit form and the money order)

Mail the completed deposit form and money order to the vendor - not the prison itself: TouchPay Holdings, LLC, PO Box 174, Houston, TX 77001-0174.

TouchPay isn't responsible for money orders lost in the mail, so consider sending yours in a way that gives you tracking or peace of mind. If TouchPay receives your money order but finds a problem with the deposit, they'll mail everything back to the return address you wrote on the deposit slip.

1. Wait at least a week after you mail it - the vendor asks you not to follow up sooner than one week after mailing.
2. Email for help if there’s still an issue - contact moneyorders@viapath.com.
