Overview
How unclaimed property works in Maryland
Maryland holds unclaimed property when companies, banks, insurers, courts, or other holders cannot locate the rightful owner after the required dormancy period.
The Maryland Comptroller maintains the official ClaimIT Maryland search at claimitmd.gov so residents and former residents can look up names, aliases, and prior addresses at no charge.
KeenVPN does not hold or process Maryland claims. Use the official government search linked on this page, then follow MD claim instructions and documentation requirements from the agency.
