Lost Stock Certificate, Affidavit of
Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. When you lose a stock certificate, first contact the issuing company to advise them of the circumstances and request guidance regarding replacement. Call or write the corporation’s headquarters and ask for the investor relations department; the fastest method these days is to go to their website, find Investor Relations, and contact them that way. You should start by preparing this affidavit. It puts all of the information in order. Even if they require using their document this will get you primed.

1. Use a notary. All states allow that. There are shortcuts in some states but it is far simpler, as always, to do it right and get a formal document such as this one notarized. Duplicate originals are a good idea. Send the original to the company and retain the other for backup, along with a couple of copies for your records.
