Electronic Reporting

NAUPA Alert

If you’re using a New York format to report unclaimed funds, move to the NAUPA format before filing your next report. Only NAUPA-formatted reports will be accepted by our new system, when we convert in 2025.

For specific questions or concerns, go to Contact Us, select “Subject: Reporter Question” and add “NAUPA Conversation” in the comments section.
