Step
There are a few places where you can purchase an money order--Western Union, US Postal Office or even at some supermarkets. Go to any of the companies to purchase one.
Step
When filling out a money order, make sure not to leave anything blank.
Step
On the form where it says 'Remitter' or 'Payee' write down your name clearly in print.
Step
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.
Step
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.
