Notice: Reports must include information about the owner; last known address (even if mail is undeliverable), social security number, and date of birth.
Alaska's Unclaimed Property Act (AS 34.45) requires businesses (profit and non-profit) and government agencies to file an unclaimed property report with the Department of Revenue.
Property is considered abandoned or unclaimed when no owner initiated transactions have occurred, or there is no contact by the owner, including not cashing a check for a period of time (also known as a dormancy period). A property is generally money owed to an individual or business, but can also be a security such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds or safe deposit box contents.
For most types of property (including those for which no time frame is specified in Alaska statue), the time frame is 3 years using an "as of" date of June 30 of the current year. A complete listing of property types and dormancy periods are detailed in the following document:Property Codes and Dormancy Periods
ACH and wire transfer instructions are available by contacting our office at ucpholder@alaska.gov. Please make remittances payable to the State of Alaska Unclaimed Property Program.
ACH payments are our preferred remittance method. Checks will be accepted only if the electronic method is unavailable.
Alaska accepts all software programs that produce the industry standard National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) file.
Holder Reporting Software (HRS Pro) is a free software that generates NAUPA files, which are accepted by most states' unclaimed property programs and streamlines the reporting process. HRS Pro is our preferred holder reporting software.
HRS Pro creates an encrypted (.hde) file. The (.hde) file is secure and can be emailed to ucpholder@alaska.gov without the need for additional password and/or encryption.
Email your NAUPA file (.hde) and remittance confirmation to ucpholder@alaska.gov.
Our preferred holder reporting method is electronic submissions; however, some exceptions will be made where this is not possible. Contact our office at ucpholder@alaska.gov if electronic submissions are not possible.
As a convenience, Alaska will accept incidental property (ten or fewer properties) reportable to another state only if allowed by the other state. Please refer to the NAUPA Reciprocity Matrix for state specific information.
If your organization has a large number of reportable properties for another state, you should file a report with that state.
