  1. Gather the Required Forms

    Start by completing Form 4A (Original Owner(s) Claim) and Form 5 (Indemnity Agreement). Ensure both forms are duly commissioned by a lawyer.

  2. Obtain Confirmation from the Holder

    Secure an original official letter from the holder (e.g., bank or insurance company) confirming the remittance of your unclaimed financial assets to the UFAA.

  3. Prepare Certified Identification Documents

    Provide a certified copy of your National Identity Card or Passport, certified by a lawyer. Also, include a copy of your KRA PIN certificate.

  4. Fill Out the Payment Details Form

    Indicate your payment details on the Payment Details form. Ensure the information is accurate and matches your bank or M-Pesa account.

  5. Provide Proof of Active Account

    Submit a recent bank or M-Pesa statement, deposit slip, or withdrawal slip that clearly shows your account/M-Pesa name and number. For joint claims, provide joint payment details or a letter of no objection from one claimant.

  6. Address Name Discrepancies

    If there are name differences between your National ID, KRA PIN, and holder documents, prepare an original affidavit to resolve the discrepancies.

  7. Submit Policy Documents or Affidavit

    Provide the original policy document from the insurance company. If the policy is lost, misplaced, or untraceable, submit an affidavit for the loss of the policy.

Time Estimate: Approximately 1-2 weeks, depending on document preparation and submission speed
