What to know
A holder may request proof of identity, proof of prior ownership, a tax form, notarized affidavits, entity authority, or estate documents. Requirements depend on the state and the case.
Practical safeguards
Do not send Social Security numbers, bank credentials, government identification, or death certificates through an ordinary public web form. Sensitive documents should move through a secure, access-controlled process after the claimant and request are verified.
