Parolee Restitution Payment Instructions

The following payment procedures apply specifically to parolees who have outstanding court-ordered restitution fines and/or direct orders of restitution: 

  Contact your parole agent to obtain your restitution balance.

  The only form of payment is cashier checks, money orders, or personal checks. Personal checks are accepted but will have an automatic “Hold” placed on them. The “Hold” can be up to 30 days while the check clears the bank.

  Write on your cashier’s check, money order, or personal check your:

 CDCR number
 Your  name

Payments will only be accepted by mail at the following address:

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
P.O. Box 276088

  If you want overnight mail delivery, go to a United States Post Office. Request “Express Mail” service. Companies like Federal Express, UPS, etc. will NOT deliver to the post office box.

  A receipt is faxed to your parole agent AFTER all of your restitution has been paid in FULL.
