Apply for unclaimed money

If you believe you are entitled to unclaimed money being held by the Territory Revenue Office (TRO), you can apply to have it paid to you.

You must provide evidence to prove you are the rightful owner of the unclaimed money.

Before applying, you must check that your name is listed on the unclaimed moneys register:

Unclaimed company money register PDF (720.3 KB)
Unclaimed company money register XLSX (148.1 KB).

The register will tell you the amount of money owed.

You will need to provide the following supporting documents with your application:

  • proof of identity - a certified copy of one of the following:
    • driver's licence
    • passport or birth certificate of the owner
  • a certified copy of correspondence from the company or superannuation provider that forwarded the unclaimed money:
    • statements
    • share or premium certificates.
  • proof of a connection to the last known address (the last known address will only be disclosed once you have proven your identity and links to the company that made the payment to TRO):
    • council rates notice
    • electricity or gas invoice

If you cannot provide evidence of a connection to the company or superannuation provider, you must get a formal letter from them certifying that you are the rightful owner.

  • proof of tax file number (for unclaimed superannuation benefits only):
    • a certified copy of a tax assessment or
    • TFN notification advice from the Australian Tax Office

Depending on the circumstances of your claim, you may need to provide additional supporting evidence.
