Missing Share Certificates

Replacement of Lost or Missing Share Certificates

Fast, reliable support for obtaining duplicate UK share certificates — no matter the value.

If you have lost a share certificate, Share Data can manage the entire replacement process on your behalf, including communication with registrars, obtaining letters of indemnity, and securing countersignatures where required.

Our Lost Certificate Service Includes:

Registrar Liaison

We obtain a letter of indemnity from the company registrar to replace the missing certificate.

Countersignature Support

For higher-value holdings, we secure a countersignature to reduce registrar liability and authorise issuance.

Quotation Handling

We request and manage quotes from our approved supplier to complete the process efficiently.

High-Value Certificate Support (£50,000+)

Have registrars declined to issue a letter of indemnity for your lost certificate due to its high value?

Share Data specialises in assisting clients where the certificate exceeds £50,000 — a common threshold for registrar restrictions.

We can help whether or not the registrar is able to provide an indemnity

The typical service fee is around 1% of the share value, offering a cost-effective solution

What You Will Need

Once you accept a quote, we will need to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. Please provide:

A certified copy of your passport

A recent bank statement

International financial compliance and reporting tools

One additional proof of address (e.g. utility bill, dated within the last 3 months)

Upon receipt of the required documents, we will proceed with the replacement, and the new certificate will be sent directly to you.
