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.
Unique, sequential identifier. No gaps, no reuse. Cancelled numbers stay retired.
Exact legal name from the articles, plus the jurisdiction of incorporation.
Full legal name matching the register, individual or entity, with entity type noted.
Numerals and words (“500 (Five Hundred)”) with the class clearly named.
The board-authorized issuance date, not the date the certificate was printed.
Typically two: one officer and one witness. Electronic signatures are widely recognized.
Optional in most modern jurisdictions; included where the corporation uses one.
A QR code or URL that lets banks, counsel, and investors verify the certificate against the live register.
Use it properly the first time.
The template handles the format. The hard part is the workflow around it: board authorization, sequential numbering, register sync, and cancellation discipline. Our full guide walks through each step so your first issuances hold up under diligence.
