Wyoming Unclaimed Property Overview

Wyoming holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. The Equality State holds unclaimed property from its energy industry and ranching operations, with no fees to claim. The Wyoming State Treasurer is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.

Wyoming uses the KAPS (Kelmar) for its unclaimed property database. Property typically becomes dormant after 5 years of no owner activity, at which point holders must report it to the state by November 1 each year.
