Arkansas Unclaimed Property: How to Search and Claim for Free

How to search for Arkansas unclaimed property

The official search is at claimitar.gov/app/claim-search.¹ The program's information pages are at auditor.ar.gov.² You may see it called The Great Arkansas Treasure Hunt.⁵

Which names and places to try: how to search well.

Fast-track and automatic payments

• Data Match (Act 114 of 2025): the Auditor mails checks automatically, with no claim, to individual single owners whose identity is verified, for property under $5,000. A letter comes first; the check follows in about 6–8 weeks (other pages say 8–10 weeks or within 90 days). No action is needed unless the address is wrong or the amount is over $1,000, in which case a claim form comes with the letter. Heirs, businesses, nonprofits, mineral rights, tangible items and securities are excluded.⁶

How to claim unclaimed property in Arkansas, step by step

Claims can be filed online on the official site.² Cost: Free; the Auditor never charges to claim.²

1. Search the database at claimitar.gov by last name or business name (first name, city, ZIP or Property ID optional).¹
2. Select your properties and choose "Continue To File Claim"; most claims are filed online, or call 1-800-CLAIMIT for a representative to help file.²
3. Choose your relationship to the owner (Myself, Heir, Open Business, Closed Business, Public Entity, Locator).⁷
4. Check your email: the office emails a list of any extra documents needed; the claim ID is on the claim form (upper right corner) and in that email.²
5. Upload documents (PDF, TIF, PNG or JPG, max 10 MB each) with your Claim ID at claimitar.gov/app/claim-doc-upload, or mail them; some claims need original documents.⁸
6. Track the claim with your Claim ID at claimitar.gov/app/claim-status-search.²

• Notary: Required if the claim is worth $1,000 or more, or includes shares of stock or safe deposit box contents²
• If a claim is denied: Lawsuit in Pulaski County Circuit Court naming the Auditor of State as defendant (A.C.A. § 18-28-216); a denied claimant may also file a new claim³

The general process is in our how to claim guide.

Documents you need, by situation

These are the official requirements. The claim form for a specific property can ask for more.

Claiming your own property

• Every claim: copy of government-issued ID and SSN or FEIN; sometimes proof of a previous address or holder verification²
• Document types accepted by the upload portal: account proof, prior address, birth certificate, business authority to claim, business ownership %, signed claim form, death certificate/obituary, valid government photo ID, relationship, royalties proof/division order, SSN/tax ID, will/trust documents⁷

A former address or a name change

• Former address / proof of ownership: e.g., proof of previous address or verification from the holder²
• Name change: marriage certificate or court document²

The owner has died (estate)

• Legal heirs may claim. Intestate estates follow the Intestate Descent Table, A.C.A. § 28-9-214. Without a probated will or estate, the Auditor's affidavit of heirship works for property under $10,000; intestate heir claims over $10,000 need a court order. Multiple-owner tangible property, or property under $200, may go to the first requesting heir within one degree of kinship.³

You are an heir

• Deceased owner / heir: documents proving heirship, e.g., probated will or affidavit of heirship²
• Heir without probate: Auditor's form affidavit of heirship, only for property under $10,000; above that a court order³

Securities, safe deposit boxes and other cases

• Power of attorney: claim by a duly authorized power of attorney may be processed at the Auditor's discretion³
• Finder/locator-assisted claim: signed, dated, notarized copy of the full finder agreement³
• Business, government, safe deposit, securities: not detailed publicly; each claim type needs different documentation listed on the claim form²

Not listed in the official sources we checked: a business or government agency. The claim form shows what to send.

See also: claiming for a deceased relative and the claim documents tool.

How long it takes, how you are paid and the deadline

Processing time

• Up to 90 days (by rule, a decision within 90 days after the claim is complete, unless extended for reasonable cause); checks are mailed weekly, usually on Fridays²

How you are paid

Arkansas pays by check and does not offer direct deposit, so keep the mailing address on your claim current.

• Paper check by USPS mail; no direct deposit; no same-day checks²

Deadline

There is no deadline for owners and heirs in Arkansas.

• No time limit; property is held in perpetuity²

Contact the Arkansas unclaimed property office

When property becomes unclaimed: dormancy periods

In Arkansas most property is presumed abandoned after 3 years without owner contact.¹³ Wages move faster: 1 year.¹³ More on how this works: what happens after the dormancy period.

Other states: dormancy periods table.

• Minimum amounts: No minimum to report; items under $50 may be reported in aggregate; holder due diligence letters required for items of $50 or more; Finder File covers items over $25¹¹
• Gift cards: Gift certificates, gift cards, in-store merchandise credits and layaway accounts issued by a retailer of tangible personal property are not "property" under the Act (not reportable)¹⁴
• Published lists of owners: An annual notice in a newspaper of general circulation in every Arkansas county, by November 30 of the year after property is delivered, giving the Auditor's website and phone number¹⁵

Finder fees and heir finders in Arkansas

The legal limit in Arkansas: 10% of the amount collected.³ Among the flat caps in our finder-fee comparison, 1 is lower and 11 are higher. You never need a finder: claiming directly is free.²

• Are finders allowed? Yes.³
• Contract rules: Agreement void if made from the presumed-abandonment date until 24 months after delivery to the state (the exemption covers attorney agreements to claim identified property). It must be in writing, signed by the owner, and state the property, the services, and the value before and after the fee. By rule it must also be signed by all parties, dated and notarized, and the full agreement filed with the claim. For mineral proceeds, a fee provision that takes a portion of the underlying minerals or of mineral proceeds not then presumed abandoned is void; unconscionable fees can be reduced by a court.⁹
• The law: A.C.A. § 18-28-225 (Agreement to locate property); 18 CAR §§ 21-501–21-502¹⁶ (read the text)

Before signing with a finder, read how finders work.

How to spot Arkansas unclaimed property scams

Arkansas' official search is on claimitar.gov, a .gov address.¹

What Arkansas warns about

• The Auditor will never text you about unclaimed property; such texts are a scam tactic.²
• You don't need to pay anyone: state staff help for free.²
• Data Match letters are real; the check comes in a perforated envelope like a tax refund check.⁶
• Questions about whether claimitar.gov is legitimate: call 800-CLAIMIT.¹

• The Auditor is pressing the U.S. Treasury to return matured unredeemed savings bonds and says $234 million of them is owed to Arkansans.²⁹
• Security sales: since Act 492 of 2019 the Auditor may sell securities when received; claimants get the shares if still held, otherwise the net sale proceeds.³⁰
• Act 430 of 2025 created an Unclaimed Property Interest Trust Fund for interest earned on investing unclaimed property funds; it first reimburses the State Central Services Fund for program costs.
