Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is on a stock certificate?

A stock certificate is a physical piece of paper that represents a shareholders ownership of a company. Stock certificates include information like the number of shares owned, the date of purchase, an identification number, and relevant signatures.

Are stock certificates valuable?

In the past, investors received physical certificates, called bearer forms, when they bought stock. Today, most stocks are kept in electronic form in your brokers computer system, making old certificates increasingly rare and potentially valuable.

Can I print my own stock certificate?

Corporate stock certificates can also be custom printed to include your information. Most of our Custom printed stock certificates will include the Corporate or Company Name, State of Incorporation, Authorized Number of Shares and Two Signature Lines.

What to do with worthless stock certificates?

Depends on the firm, but where I work you can call in and request the securities to be removed if they have been proven worthless. Meaning they have reported bankruptcy, no stockholder equity, or complete company failure. Once proven worthless and removed you can report the loss for tax purposes.

Can I cash in old stock certificates?

First, check to see if the issuer is still in business. If it is, look for the state in which the company was incorporated along with the CUSIP number on the certificate. In order to cash in the stock, you need to fill out the transfer form on the back of the certificate and have it notarized.

How do I find out if my stock certificates are worth anything?

If a transfer agent is listed on the front of the stock certificate, you can try contacting the transfer agent. If you currently do business with a brokerage firm, you may want to ask your broker-dealer if they can assist in researching the certificate.

Are my stock certificates worth anything?

While physical stock certificates are becoming rarer, they can still sometimes hold their value, or other significance like sentimental and decorative purposes. Look up the name on the certificate to see if the company still exists or has undergone mergers, acquisitions, or rebranding.

Can you still get actual stock certificates?

Yes, some companies still issue physical stock certificates upon request, though most prefer electronic registration. Check with your broker or the companys transfer agent.
