 TITLE: How to Fill Out a Money Order CONTENT: Similar to a personal check, a money order can be cashed at most banks and credit unions, though you might have to pay a fee if you're not a member. You can also cash a money order at the company that issued it, such as Western Union or a grocery store.\nBecause a money order is valid only for the specified recipient, you'll need to present a current form of ID to cash it. That means a driver's license, passport, state ID or military ID that matches the name on the money order. If the name doesn't match, you'll need the person who paid for the money order to cancel it and re-order it. END
