Misplaced your stock certificate? Request a replacement without the hassle

When you lose or misplace a stock certificate, don't panic. All you need to do to have a replacement issued to you is officially state that the certificate is, in fact, lost and not transferred to someone else. Use Nolo's Affidavit of Lost Stock Certificate form and you can be sure that you've satisfied all the requirements for a replacement. 

This form lets you:

• certify that you've lost the certificate, not transferred it to someone else
• send the affidavit to the company that issued the original document
• have your original numbered stock certificate canceled
• get a new numbered certificate as quickly as possible

You'll get thorough instructions in plain English for filling out the form correctly, plus an explanation of what you can expect after you send the form to the entity issuing the replacement.
