The good news is you can charge 10% as a Nevada unclaimed money finder.
The bad news if you need to be a private investigator in Nevada.
All it takes is time and either employment or education if you want to become a private investigator in Nevada.

There are a couple of ways you can work as an unclaimed money finder in Nevada without being a private investigator:
1. You can partner with an existing private investigation firm. Let them know that you would like to find unclaimed money using their office, letterhead, etc.
In return, you give them a portion of your commission. It’s easy money for the PI, and if they’re legitimate, they can do a background check on you to determine if they want to work with you.
2. You can search for unclaimed money in other states. As I have mentioned several times on this site, we are in New York but we do not search for unclaimed money in New York because the dollar amounts are not given on the unclaimed money list.
However, that doesn’t stop us from searching for unclaimed money in other states and it shouldn’t stop you either.
Speaking of unclaimed money lists, I’ll show you a secret on the Nevada unclaimed money search page.
Go to https://nevadatreasurer.gov/UPSearch/ and enter a first name (John for example) or part of a last name (HAR) for example.
Don’t enter a first and last name for this, just one or the other.
You will then get a list of names showing up with whatever you entered.
For example, if you enter HAR, you will get a list of last names with Hart, Harrison, Hardy, etc.
It will then say “Over $100” or “Under $100”. Check out the ones that say “Over $100”.
If you get a large amount, you may want to get in touch with a private investigator and make a deal!

Looks as if NV no longer requires a license?

IF so, I am excited about that as I vacation there and can now work while I do! but if not I still am happy about learning about helping people
Thank you so much for your information and guide! It really helped me get started. I have begun reaching out to owners by phone and by mail. Pretty soon I am sure I will have my first agreement signed because I am determined to do so.
Tia,
Yes, that is correct! Great job investigating that! I think you’re going to do well in this business!
I need to update this page. A few months ago there was a banner on the Nevada site that brought you to this:

Luckily, I printed it up. You can now get the list from them for $25.
Good luck!
Does the Nevada list show values of accounts ?
According to Nevada’s site, the list:
Is updated each year in both January and July
o Contains properties valued at $5,000 and over only.
o Is mailed via United States Postal Service in a PDF format only on a CD-R
disc
o Contains the following information only:
▪ Owner name(s) and address as reported by the holder
▪ the property ID number
▪ the date the property was reported to the State
▪ the number of shares of stock or mutual funds

▪ the name of the holder (who reported the property to the State of
Nevada)
