Questions
Is the share certificate generator really free?
Yes. You can fill in your details and download a preview as often as you need. The preview carries a "Preview" watermark. The clean, ready-to-sign PDF costs R450.
How fast do I get the clean share certificate?
Instantly. As soon as your payment goes through, the PDF is generated and emailed to you. There is no waiting for a consultant.
What is in the R450 PDF?
A cover letter, one share certificate per shareholder and the company's securities register, all with your company's details, ready to print and sign.
Does CIPC issue share certificates?
No. The company issues its own share certificates. CIPC registers the company and directors, but its documents do not show the shareholders.
Who signs the share certificate?
Two people authorised by the company's board, normally the directors (section 51 of the Companies Act).
I lost my share certificate. Can I get a replacement?
Yes. Choose "Replacement" in the generator. You will be asked for a signed indemnity for the lost certificate before the clean PDF is sent.
Do I also need to file beneficial ownership with CIPC?
Companies must keep their beneficial ownership information up to date with CIPC. Our Certificate + Register + BO Pack (R750) includes that filing.
