Delaware Stock Certificates

In corporate law, a stock certificate (also known as certificate of stock or share certificate) is a legal document that certifies ownership of a specific number of shares or stock in a corporation. For a LLC, interest or membership certificates are issued.

• These certificates are available for Stock Corporations, Close Corporations, Public Benefit Corporations, and Limited Liability Companies (LLC).
• Historically, certificates may have been required to evidence entitlement to dividends, with a receipt for the payment being endorsed on the back; and the original certificate may have been required to be provided to effect the transfer of the shareholding.
• Over time, these functions have been rendered redundant by statutory schemes to streamline the administrative burden on corporations, and to facilitate and streamline trading on a stock exchange.
• For example, most jurisdictions now impose an obligation on corporations to pay dividends to shareholders registered at a relevant point of time without the need to produce the share certificate as proof of entitlement and the certificate is no longer required to be produced with a transfer of a shareholding.
• Most jurisdictions now require corporations to maintain records of ownership or transfers of shareholdings, and do not permit share certificates to be issued to bearer.
• We sell stock certificates in packages of 20 quantity. The order form will have a field for Special Instructions for anything you might need outside of the standard language on the certificate.
• We charge $95 for a package of 20 stock certificates with your company name and other details printed on the certificate.
