Court-Ordered Payments to Sumter C.I.: How to Fill a Money Order to Avoid Delays
Small paperwork mistakes can delay or return court-ordered payments. Here's exactly how to fill out your money order so it gets accepted the first time.
For court-ordered payments connected to Sumter C.I., mail your money order or certified draft to: FL Court Ordered Payment, PO Box 25009, Bradenton, FL 34206-5009.
Money orders must be $999.99 or less per payment. You'll find this limit on the court-ordered deposit paperwork and the JPay money order form.
Need to send more? Cashier's checks and certified bank drafts are accepted up to $10,000.
Warning: Exceed the limit for your payment type and it gets rejected - returned to the address on your deposit form.
Forbidden Payment Types

Fill in all the payer information - that's you, the person making the payment. CorrectPay may reject it if your name, phone number, email, or mailing address is missing.
Note: Missing payer details or exceeding the payment limit can get your payment rejected. If that happens, funds go back to the address you listed on the deposit form.
Keep it strictly business - no personal notes or letters in the envelope. JPay will throw them away.
Planning around a due date? Build in extra time. Deposits aren't processed on weekends or holidays.
Once your payment arrives, it still takes time. JPay processes approved money orders within ten (10) business days after receipt.
- Confirm the offender’s name and DC# - Make sure the offender’s full name and DC# are entered correctly on the money order (or certified draft) and on the deposit form.
- Keep proof of what you sent - Hold onto your receipt and make a copy of the completed deposit form, so you have the address and details handy if the payment is rejected and returned.
