Share Certificates

Company Shareholder Share Certificate Application

What is a Share Certificate?

A share certificate is a document that is issued by a company to certify the ownership of shares in that company.
The owner of a share certificate can be a person or any registered entity.

The information on our share certificate will show the:

- share certificate number (this must be unique)
- the name of the company
- registration number of the company
- the person's full name and ID number to whom the share certificate is issued
- the number of shares issued

1. All companies must keep proper records of shares issued.
2. The share certificate must be signed by the company director(s) and where applicable the company secretary or witness.
3. All shares issued must be recorded in the Company Share Register Book.
4. Each share certificate is unique, must have its sequential number, and may not be duplicated and/or amended.
5. At any time, there may only be one original signed share certificate.
6. The original share certificate must be kept in a safe place.
7. CLOSE CORPORATIONS do not qualify for Share Certificates as ownership is determined by the members' interest as per CK1/CK2.

Only R180 per share certificate.

Company Type
Close Corporations (CC's) do not issue share certificates
Proof of ownership is determined by the members' interest percentages recorded on the official CK1/CK2 forms.
Non-Profit Companies (NPCs) do not have shareholders and therefore do not issue share certificates.
An NPC is not owned by individuals. Instead, it is a company established for a public purpose. Its governance and the rights of its members (if any) are defined in the company's Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), which is the founding document of the company.
