What condition must be met for PS Form 8105-A to be completed?

The condition for completing PS Form 8105-A pertains specifically to transactions involving larger amounts of money orders. When a customer is purchasing more than $3,000 in money orders, this form is necessary to comply with regulations aimed at preventing money laundering and ensuring proper reporting of significant financial transactions. This form serves as a record to track these larger purchases and is a key part of the postal financial system's integrity.

Smaller transactions, such as purchasing money orders under this threshold or cashing orders, do not trigger the same reporting requirements and thus do not necessitate the completion of this form. The focus on the $3,000 amount is specifically tied to compliance standards that the USPS adheres to regarding financial regulations.
