You just need to complete and sign a CREST Transfer Form for each stock held and return to us with your share certificates.
The easiest way to do this is to login and use our CREST Transfer Form Generator to create pre-filled CREST Transfer Forms in PDF format which you can then download, print out and sign. Once logged in go to Products and Services/Transfer Certificates in.
Alternatively, you can send us a letter stating your name and account number, and the quantity of each stock you wish to transfer. We will then send you pre-printed transfer forms for you to sign, please return these to us together with your certificates.
Or you can download blank CREST Transfer Forms and complete them yourself, returning them to us with the appropriate certificates. Please ensure the details on the transfer forms match exactly with those on your certificate irrespective of spelling mistakes.
Please note: you will need to complete and sign a separate CREST Transfer Form for each stock you wish to transfer to us.
