Where it says 'Pay to the Order Of' or 'Sender' or 'Send To' write down the name of the person you are sending the money order to; a person or a company.
Step
On some money orders you are able to write down your account number on a space provided. If there is none write your account number above your name. Your account number is your identification--Social Security number, a number personally sent to you from a bill or a credit card number.

The money order has another form attached to it. When you write down the required information, a second slip beneath it automatically copies the information. The slip is used as a receipt.
