Idaho unclaimed money and property: is it yours?

Where to search Idaho's official unclaimed property list for free, what happens to forgotten safe-deposit boxes there, and whether the money is still yours after a sale.

Safe-deposit boxes

Does Idaho auction unclaimed safe-deposit-box contents?

Yes. Idaho held or listed a state sale in 2025–26. Idaho gives public notice before it auctions tangible unclaimed property under Idaho Code § 14-5-701. Its 2025 notice covered jewelry, coins and collectibles from safe-deposit boxes, sold "as is" on GovDeals, with proceeds held for owners.

Sources: Public notice, Jul 2, 2025 ↗

Not yet verified: The source is a legal notice in a newspaper's classifieds, not a Treasurer page.

After a sale

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

How to check

How do I check Idaho for free?

  1. Open Idaho's official search: yourmoney.idaho.gov ↗. 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 ↗
