Detailed Answer

North Dakota holds unclaimed property under the Unclaimed Property Act (NDCC Chapter 47-30). If you’ve created an account on nccash.com to track potential unclaimed assets, follow these steps to access and review your information under North Dakota law.

1. Visit the Official ND Unclaimed Property Portal
   Although nccash.com lets you monitor potential matches, the State of North Dakota publishes all property records on its official site: https://www.nd.gov/tax/unclaimed-property. Always cross-check your nccash.com listings with the state’s database.
2. Register or Sign In
   On the ND portal, click “Claim Your Property” and choose “New User” to register. You’ll need:
   • Full legal name
   • Current address
   • Email address and password
   • Social Security number or Federal Tax ID

   If you already registered, select “Sign In” and enter your credentials.

3. Verify Your Identity
   North Dakota requires identity proof under NDCC § 47-30-23 to protect owners and prevent fraud. You may need to upload a government-issued ID (e.g., driver’s license) and a utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address.
4. Search Your Account Dashboard
   Once logged in, navigate to “My Unclaimed Property.” The portal displays:
   • Property type (e.g., dormant bank accounts, insurance proceeds)
   • Last known owner address
   • Reporting date and holder name

   You can sort or filter by date, property type, or holder to focus on relevant items.

5. Download or Print Detailed Reports
   Click any record to view full details. Use the “Download PDF” or “Print” buttons to save summaries for your records or to compare with nccash.com entries.
6. Submit a Formal Claim
   When you confirm a match, click “File Claim.” NDCC § 47-30-23 outlines required documentation:
   • Proof of identity
     (copy of driver’s license, passport)
   • Proof of ownership
     (account statements, policy documents)
   • Signed and notarized claim form

   Upload these directly in your portal account. The Tax Commissioner’s office then reviews and processes your claim, typically within 60 days.

Helpful Hints

• Always start your search with exact name matches, then try common variations.
• Keep digital copies of all ID and ownership documents for quick uploads.
• Check your spam folder for verification and claim-status emails.
• Use the ND portal’s “Alert Me” feature to get notified if new property matches your name.
• Reconcile nccash.com records with the official ND site before filing to avoid duplicate claims.
