How to Replace a Lost Stock Certificate in Indiana

1. Notify the Transfer Agent

First, you must notify the transfer agent of the loss. The transfer agent will place a “stop transfer” on the certificate. This is to prevent others from cashing it in. The transfer agent or the broker-dealer will then notify the SEC of the lost or missing certificates. The transfer agent will have a facility available to purchase the bond. Usually, the cost of the Indiana Lost Stock Certificate Bond from the transfer agent is 30% to 50% higher than the cost of Surety1.com placing the bond. The Transfer agent cannot legally require the bond be purchased from them.
