BidBudz — Find the Mailing Address

Mail gets rejected when the address or format is wrong. This helper points you to the official source for the address and shows you exactly how to address it, so your order actually reaches your loved one.

Federal (BOP)
State prison
County jail

Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)

1

Find the facility

Search your loved one by name or their 8-digit Register Number on the official BOP Inmate Locator. It's free. (BOP will ask you to check "I'm not a robot" — that's their security, not ours.)

Open the BOP Inmate Locator →
2

Get that facility's mailing address

The locator shows which facility they're in. Click the facility name (or find it on the BOP locations page) to see its official mailing address, which is the one to use.

Browse BOP facility addresses →
3

Address it exactly like this

Federal mail must include the Register Number — without it, mail is returned. Use this format:

INMATE FULL NAME REGISTER NUMBER (e.g. 12345-678) FACILITY NAME FACILITY MAILING ADDRESS CITY, STATE ZIP
📚 Books: Federal facilities require books to come straight from a publisher or retailer — which is exactly how BidBudz ships. Order through our store and it arrives compliant.
Always confirm the name, register number, and address on the official BOP site before ordering. Facilities and addresses can change.

State prison

Pick the state holding your loved one. We'll take you to that state's official inmate locator to find the facility and its mailing address. State facilities almost always require the inmate's DOC / ID number on the envelope.

These open the state's official corrections search. If a state has changed its system, the search still lands you on the current official locator.

County jail

Enter the county and state. We'll take you to that county's official Sheriff / jail inmate roster to find the facility and mailing address. County jails usually require the booking / CID number on the envelope.

This opens the county's official Sheriff / jail roster search. County systems vary, so confirm the facility and mailing address on the official site before sending.
