Idaho Unclaimed Money – Search Strategies

Idaho does use MissingMoney.com, and we suggest you use them when searching if you want to use some of our search strategies. The state website is thorough, but does not allow for search approximations. Meaning, if you want to search by last name and first 2-3 letters of your first name, it won’t show unless its an exact match. Missing Money has the same information so you won’t miss any claims!

Claiming is fairly simple, you can put in your information and there is actually a spot to donate your unclaimed money or property to the state. Once the form is filled out it can take a few weeks to hear back, and you may need to provide supporting documents which you can upload via the website. Using the claim ID they provide you can also check the status of the claim at any time.

One of the major changes in Idaho unclaimed property law came in 2012. Up to that point, any claims that were ten years or older would become property of the state. In 2012 the law changed to allow claims to remain indefinitely until the rightful owner claims it.
