Overview

How unclaimed property works in Alaska

Alaska holds unclaimed property when companies, banks, insurers, courts, or other holders cannot locate the rightful owner after the required dormancy period.

The Alaska Department of Revenue maintains the official Alaska unclaimed property program at unclaimedproperty.alaska.gov so residents and former residents can look up names, aliases, and prior addresses at no charge.

KeenVPN does not hold or process Alaska claims. Use the official government search linked on this page, then follow AK claim instructions and documentation requirements from the agency.
