The eight fields every share certificate needs.

Every certificate in the template carries the same eight fields. Each one exists for a specific reason, and omitting any of them creates ambiguity that surfaces during diligence or audit.

1
Certificate number

Unique, sequential identifier. No gaps, no reuse. Cancelled numbers stay retired.

2
Corporation name and jurisdiction

Exact legal name from the articles, plus the jurisdiction of incorporation.

3
Shareholder name

Full legal name matching the register, individual or entity, with entity type noted.

4
Number of shares and class

Numerals and words (“500 (Five Hundred)”) with the class clearly named.

5
Issue date

The board-authorized issuance date, not the date the certificate was printed.

6
Signatures

Typically two: one officer and one witness. Electronic signatures are widely recognized.

7
Corporate seal

Optional in most modern jurisdictions; included where the corporation uses one.

8
Verification reference

A QR code or URL that lets banks, counsel, and investors verify the certificate against the live register.
