Holder Notice Reports must be received before November 1, 2008 (before May 1, 2009, for life insurance companies). Do not remit any property with the Holder Notice Report. Any property remitted with this report will be returned to the holder. Previously accepted reporting formats, CA NAUPA II and CA Magnetic Media (Diskette Reporting Program), will no longer be accepted starting with the 2008 report cycle (2009 report cycle for life insurance companies). Reports received in these formats (starting with these cycles) will be returned to the holder. Standard NAUPA II will be the only acceptable electronic reporting format. The Standard NAUPA II format maximizes the accuracy of reports, efficiency of SCO processing, and makes the overall reporting process easier for holders. Paper reports are still accepted if reporting fewer than 50 properties, although electronic reporting is still strongly encouraged. Reporting instructions and guidelines are available on the SCO website. Click here to go directly to the Reporting Formats Page.
