Original Owner Claims Checklist

More Detailed Information

The following is a quick checklist of documentation that is needed when sending in your claim:

• Completed and signed affirmation page;

• Copy of current photo identification for each claimant;

• Proof of Social Security number for each claimant;

• Proof associating you with the last known address; and

• Proof associating you with the reported company/holder.

Your claim must be notarized if it is $1000 or greater, is for stock or mutual funds, or safe deposit boxes. (Please note: Stock claims take longer to process than other claims.)

Mail the completed claim form and documents to the following address:

Unclaimed Property Division
P.O. Box 942850
Sacramento, CA 94250-5873

NOTE: If you are claiming property that is an uncashed check under $50, a cashier’s check, or a money order, you are requested to send in the original instrument with your claim. If the original instrument is unavailable, additional documentation is needed to verify claims for negotiable instruments. You will be required to provide other available documentation along with a Declaration of Loss form. Please contact the Unclaimed Property Division by telephone at (916) 323-2827 for further instructions. Also, If you are filing a claim and know there are multiple owners on the account, please note that each owner/claimant must sign the claim form and submit the required documentation.
