Getting a Refund for an Invalid Money Order

• 1). Return the money order to the place where you purchased it. If you purchased it at a seller that is part of a chain, return to the store or branch where you made the original purchase.
  
  
• 2). Make your request for your money back and explain the circumstances that caused you to need a refund. A simple explanation will be sufficient, and you won't be required to provide concrete proof. The money order itself will be all that you need.
  
  
• 3). Present the money order and the receipt. The seller also will most likely ask you to provide photo identification, such as a driver's license, to prove your identity.
  
  
• 4). Fill out the required forms or other paperwork. Most money order issuers will require you to complete some type of paperwork to officially request your refund. The information requested typically includes your name, address and reason for seeking the refund, although it may vary by seller. Once you have completed your paperwork, you will get your money back.
