A share certificate is a document that verifies a person’s shareholdings in a company. Created and issued by companies limited by shares, a certificate is essentially a dated receipt proving that the named person is the registered owner of a certain class (type) and quantity of shares in a company.
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006 (part 21) and the Model articles of association (part 3), certificates must be issued to members no later than two months after the allotment or transfer of shares has taken place.
Each certificate must be signed by two directors or one director and one company secretary. However, if you are the sole director and do not have a company secretary, a witness must be present and provide the second signature.
