Where do I search Georgia's unclaimed property?

How we know it's official: The Department of Revenue's "Search for Unclaimed Property" page links here. source ↗

What the official site says

• The search site says there is no charge for this service. source ↗

Safe-deposit boxes

Does Georgia auction unclaimed safe-deposit-box contents?

We couldn't verify it. Georgia's Department of Revenue runs the unclaimed property program and takes safe-deposit-box deliveries from banks (its FAQ gives an address for drill notices and a delivery schedule). The FAQ doesn't say whether box contents are ever auctioned.

Sources: Georgia DOR: General Unclaimed Property FAQs ↗

Not yet verified: We found no Georgia page that describes an auction of box contents, and no state sale.

Read the full Georgia auction guide: who runs it, how often, past sales and where to bid.

After a sale

If the box was already sold, can I still claim the money?

The Georgia pages we read don't say what happens to the money after a sale. Ask Georgia Department of Revenue directly; its contact details are on the official site ↗.

How to check

How do I check Georgia for free?

1. Open Georgia's official search: gaclaims.unclaimedproperty.com ↗. Check that the address is this one before you type anything in.
2. Search your name, any past or maiden names, and any business you ran. If a relative has died, search their name too: heirs can often claim. Ask the state office what proof it needs.
3. If you've lived or worked in other states, search those too. MissingMoney.com ↗, NAUPA's free site, searches most states at once and links back to each state's official claim page.
4. File the claim on the official site and send the proof it asks for, such as ID. Each state sets its own rules.

Finders

Do I need to pay someone to claim it?

No. NAUPA, the national association of state unclaimed property administrators, says there's no fee to search for and claim your property if you use your state's official program. Paid finders are legal in most cases but never required. Some states cap their fees and many require them to register, so check with the state office before you sign a finder's contract. NAUPA ↗
