Sign and date the contract and make a photocopy of your current identification. Mail all documentation in the return envelope provided.
Florida law requires each claimant to produce proof of their identity.
The ID provided must have your photo and a valid expiration date. Some forms of acceptable ID are: driver's license, State ID card, passport, or other state/government issued ID.
NOTE: If you choose to provide a passport or other ID that does not include your current address, you may be asked for additional documentation.
If you do not have a valid ID or your ID is expired, you can use a Notarized Sworn Statement. If you are a power of attorney or a legal guardian trying to assist someone in claiming funds, you can use an Affidavit Attesting to Claimants Identity.
NOTE: Either document must be notarized by a Notary. A photo ID must be presented to the notary. If the notary states that you are "personally known", your claim will be denied. If you are unsure of which documentation to send, please call our customer service department at (800) 763-9006.
