Customer Notice: To schedule an appointment, please contact us at [email protected].
The State of Arizona holds unclaimed property as a custodian for the rightful owner. The state will return property to owners who provide proof showing their right to claim the property.
Please be aware that each claim is unique and that once your claim is received, the Unclaimed Property Unit may need to request additional information from you to support your claim. If this is the case, the Unit will contact you by telephone or in writing to explain the additional requirement and will allow you an opportunity to provide the additional evidence rather than denying your claim. If you have any questions or cannot provide the evidence requested, we recommend that you complete the claim form and submit the evidence you can provide along with a note explaining your circumstances. A claims specialist may be able to clarify and assist you with the evidence requirement.
Find additional information on the types of required evidence to submit with your claim form.
The Unclaimed Property Unit cannot pay claims based on name similarity alone or disclose the type of property or its value before receiving a completed claim.
If your name has changed since the property was reported to the State of Arizona, you must provide verification of your name change. The Arizona Unclaimed Property Unit does not release funds based on name similarity alone. You must also provide a social security number or address match. If only one identifier is known to Arizona Department of Revenue, you are required to prove that identifier. If you would like examples of acceptable proof, click here.
Providing your Social Security number (SSN) is optional. However, if you choose not to provide your SSN, there may be insufficient information available to determine whether you are the owner of the unclaimed property held by the Unit and in some cases may result in your claim being denied. If you provide your SSN, the Unit will only disclose it to employees involved in paying your claim and to the federal government as required by law.
