STATE-SPECIFIC OWNER GUIDANCE
What makes the District of Columbia search distinct.
The District of Columbia’s Unclaimed Property Unit, overseen by the Chief Financial Officer, helps reunite individuals with their lost or misplaced property. To search for unclaimed property, use the official website and enter your last or business name and first name initial. Claims must be submitted through the secure Web Portal. You can also check the status of a submitted claim directly on the website using your unique Claim ID. This ensures a streamlined and official process for reclaiming your assets.
