How to Send Official Documents (Birth Certificates, IDs, Checks) to an Inmate at Monroe County Jail

Send legal mail and official documents to Monroe County Jail at 145 L Cary Bittick Dr., Forsyth, GA 31029. Include the inmate's full name and inmate number on the envelope - staff need both to match the mail to the right person.

Monroe County Jail requires business and transactional documents to be mailed directly to the facility - not through JailATM. This includes checks, passbooks, deposit slips, birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses, green cards, welfare cards, medical cards, school diplomas, and personal identification cards.

Here's something to know: original documents sent to the jail won't be delivered directly to the inmate. They can't keep the original in their possession.

When an inmate needs to review and sign an original document, the Business Office handles it. They'll set up a time for the inmate to look over the paperwork and sign if needed. After that, the inmate pays to have the document mailed out.

Checklist

• ✓ Address the envelope to: 145 L Cary Bittick Dr., Forsyth, GA 31029.
• ✓ Write the inmate’s name and inmate number clearly on the envelope.
• ✓ Mail business/transactional items (like checks, deposit slips, birth certificates, Social Security cards, IDs, and similar official documents) directly to the jail facility.
• ✓ If you’re sending something the inmate must sign or fill out on the original, expect the Business Office/designee to coordinate a time for the inmate to review it and sign if desired.
• ✓ Make copies for your own records before you send anything original.
• ✓ Don’t expect the inmate to receive or keep the original - official documents sent to the institution will not be delivered to the inmate.
• ✓ Be ready for the inmate to pay postage to have the document mailed out of the facility after review/signing, if that’s needed for the transaction.
