Share certificates – resend and re-issue

Kudocs is asking me for a share certificate number.  Why?  I don’t know what this is?  Kudocs requires the number of the latest share certificate issued off system (if the company was not incorporated on Kudocs) so that the system – if required to generate share certificates – does not create a duplicate numbered certificate.  If you don’t know what number you’ve used to date (or you haven’t used any numbers at all), you can either start at 1, or pick a large number (100, 200, 1000), so that you start the Kudocs numbering well clear of any risk of duplication.

 

Can I resend share certificates to shareholders from Kudocs?  Yes – very easily.  Just go to the relevant shareholder’s page, scroll to the bottom and at the top of the documents section click on the {Resend share certificates} button.  Kudocs will then show you which current certificates will be resent to the shareholder – just confirm you are happy and Kudocs will email them to the shareholder.

 

Can shareholders access their own share certificates, SEIS/ EIS certificates and other docs? Yes – provided the company has given them permission to do so.  They can do this either by adding them as a direct user to their account (for no cost – read more), or by activating the shareholder dashboard (available in the Advanced package).

 

Can I re-issue share certificates from Kudocs?. Yes – very easily.  See the guide here.  Just go to the relevant shareholder’s page, scroll to the bottom and at the top of the documents section click on the {Re-issue certificates} button.  You can then select for which class of shares you want to re-issue certificates (if you have multiple classes) and how you want the certificates signed.  Kudocs will do the rest – including obtaining electronic signatures (if requested), emailing completed certificate(s) to the shareholder and saving the new certificates in the system (and cancelling any previous ones generated in Kudocs).

Kudocs re-issues certificates as a single consolidated certificate.

Does Kudocs consolidate share certificates?  Yes – as a general rule, but see here for more information and the exceptions.
