How to Send Money to a Florida Inmate by JPay Money Order (Step-by-Step)
Sending money by JPay money order is straightforward once you know what to write, what to include, and where to mail it. Follow the steps and checklists below to avoid delays.
Make the money order payable to JPay. If the payee line lists anyone else (including the inmate), it can cause avoidable delays or get processed incorrectly.
Mail the money order and the Money Order Deposit Slip together in one envelope. Send it to: JPay, PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026.
For an extra identifier, write the inmate's name and ID on the money order's memo line (sometimes labeled "memo" or "used for"). This doesn't replace filling out the deposit form correctly, but it helps keep the payment matched to the right person.
Double-check the inmate's name and DC# on the Money Order Deposit Form before sealing the envelope. JPay also requires a valid email address and mailing address on the form. Money orders won't be processed without them, so take a moment to confirm those fields are complete and accurate.
Here's one eligibility rule that trips people up: you must be on the inmate's Approved Visitors List to send money by money order. If you're not approved, your payment can be held up or rejected.
ID Copy Requirements
- ✓ Include a copy of your driver’s license
- ✓ Or include a copy of your state identification card
- ✓ Or include a copy of your passport
JPay doesn't charge a fee for money orders, cashier's checks, or certified bank drafts. That makes the mail-in option a solid choice if you're trying to avoid transaction fees.
Plan for some processing time after delivery. All approved money orders are processed within ten business days of JPay receiving them.
Tip: JPay recommends using a US Postal Money Order when you send funds by money order.
Final Checklist Before Mailing
