If someone is picking up a MoneyGram transfer in cash, they’ll need two things: the reference number from the sender and an accepted government-issued photo ID. The name on the transfer also needs to match the name on the ID they bring. So if you’re wondering what ID you need to pick up a money transfer, it’s worth checking before anyone heads to a location. Accepted documents can vary by country, and a name mismatch can prevent the money from being collected.
