Got a reply when I asked TDAMERITRADE: How and when to redeposite the certificate?
Dear xxx,
When sending in securities for deposit, you must sign your name on the back
exactly as they are registered on the face of the certificate. In addition,
please write your TD AMERITRADE account number and/or your Social Security
number under your signature and enter the date where indicated.
It is important that the name in which the certificate is registered matches
your name as shown in your TD AMERITRADE account title. If the name on the
certificate does not match your account title, or if there are other names on
it, please let us know the details and we will provide further instructions.
On the reverse side of the certificate, print "TD AMERITRADE, Inc." in the blank
space before the words "Attorney to Transfer". This means that the securities
are negotiable only by TD AMERITRADE, Inc. We also recommend sending any
certificates via a carrier who, by your request, can properly insure the
contents of the package.
Submit a deposit form with your securities deposit:
- Go to Deposits and Withdrawals under Portfolio & Accounts.
- Under Select a transaction, click Deposit, then select Securities. A new
window will open with your deposit slip.
- Choose your deposit type and delivery method, then enter the symbol(s)
of the stock(s) and the number of shares you are depositing.
- Click Print-friendly version to print the form.
- Mail the deposit form and your stock certificate(s) to TD AMERITRADE at
the address listed on the form. Please remember to include your TD AMERITRADE
account number and/or your Social Security number under your signature on your
certificate.
Stock certificates post to your account one to three business days after we
receive them. Your shares should be available for trading unless they're
restricted shares or require additional documentation and/or legal review at the
transfer agent or need to be exchanged for a current issue in the event a
corporate action or reorganization occurred prior to deposit of the certificate.
You will be contacted if additional paperwork is needed. Additional fees may
also apply; see the Fee Schedule for more information.
Thanks,
Chris E.
