Address regular mail to Smart Communications using the inmate's full name and booking number. The booking number should match what you see in the Current Inmate Database. Format it exactly like this: Smart Communications/Orange County Corrections Department John Joseph Jones 00012345 P.O. Box 9101 Seminole, FL 33775-9174

  • Your first and last name
  • Your street address
  • Your city
  • Your state
  • Your ZIP code

Note: All postal mail gets opened, scanned into Smart Communications' system, and delivered digitally to the inmate via kiosks or tablets. Need to track delivery or troubleshoot rejected mail? Smart Communications offers MailGuard tracking, and Customer Care is available 24/7 at 888-253-5178.

Double-check the booking number before sealing the envelope. Orange County requires the inmate's full name and booking number exactly as shown in the Current Inmate Database. That number is how your mail gets routed to the right person without delays.

Do not include money: Do not send checks, cash, or money orders to the Smart Communications (regular mail) address.

Always include a complete return address. Orange County requires your first and last name plus your full mailing address (street, city, state, ZIP). Missing any of these can cause problems because there's no reliable way to return the mail to you.

The Seminole, Florida P.O. Box is only for regular postal mail going through Smart Communications. That includes letters, postcards, and greeting cards addressed to: Smart Communications/Orange County Corrections Department, P.O. Box 9101, Seminole, FL 33775-9174. Include the inmate's full name and booking number.

Money orders go to a different address. Mail them separately to the Inmate Fiscal Department: Inmate Fiscal Department, P.O. Box 4970, Orlando, FL 32802-4970. Write the inmate's full name and booking number on both the envelope and the money order itself.

Keep mail and money separate: Do not send checks, cash, or money orders to the Smart Communications address. Money orders must go to the Inmate Fiscal Department address in Orlando.
