- 1). Purchase your international money order, through your local post office or other local vendor, such as Western Union. You will need to verify that this form of payment is accepted in the country where your payment is being sent, and also determine the monetary limit per money order. The limit for most participating countries is $700, however some exceptions exist. Check the list under Section 371-International Money Orders, on the USPS website for current requirements.
- 2). Confirm that all pre-printed information is correct. When your money order is issued, the date and the U.S. Dollars and Cents are printed both at the top of the form, and also in the check writer imprint area. Double check against your receipt to verify that the dollar amount is correct.
- 3). Complete the Payee information, left side of the form, including the recipient's name, home or business address and their country's zip code. On the bottom line, include any notations such as account number and purchase description. Make certain that you write with a ballpoint pen, or gel ink pen that will provide enough force to imprint the writing upon the carbon copy receipt attached to the back of the form.
- 4). Complete the payer information, right side of form, below the check writer imprint area. Include your first and last name and complete mailing address.
- 5). Take an added measure of precaution by making a photocopy of the actual completed international money order, and the receipt, on the same page. In the event that the transaction goes awry, you'll have an extra piece of proof regarding the payee and the amount and date of payment.
