A money order comes with 2 parts. The top part you send to the company/person that you are sending the money. The second part is your receipt and you should be able to take that to the place where you bought the money order and get a new one. Look at the fine print on your receipt to see what the process is for a lost/stolen money order.

What happens to money if money order is lost?
Since cash is probably used to purchase the money order those monies have been given to the place that prints out the money order. However in many cases the person can get a replacement money order. I do not know if refunds are ever done on money orders.I know there is a fairly straightforward way to replace a money order IF you have the receipt stub and the money order has not been cashed. In that case a person can fill out the necessary form(s) (in some cases the information is entered onto the stub itself) and sent in along with any required fees. After that a trace is put onto money order in question and if it has not been used the company should send out a replacement money order within a specified amount of time.It is a good idea to fill out money orders at the first opportunity as it makes it much easier for a person to use a blank money order and present it at a place of their choosing .
