Before you start: You can only request a share transfer online if the company's shares are held by DealMaker Transfer Agent. To check, open the company and look at the bottom of the Your position page. If it says "Your shares are held by DealMaker Transfer Agent," you'll see the Share Transfer button.
Submit a share transfer request
Log in to your DealMaker dashboard. On the All investments page, select the company.
On the Your position page, scroll to the bottom and click Share Transfer.
In the Share Transfer window, enter the Listed Name on the Account and the Number of Shares Being Transferred.
Click Share Transfer Letter to download the form, or download it here. Complete it using the instructions below.
Upload all four pages of the completed, notarized form in the Document field.
Click Submit Request.
If you have investments across multiple companies and profiles (e.g., individual, joint, or corporate), you can include all of them in a single transfer form by adding additional pages as needed. You can then have the entire form notarized once instead of notarizing multiple forms separately.
Instructions to complete the Share Transfer form
Fill in all four pages of the form. Include your name, account number, and the number of shares you want to transfer.
Give the full name, Tax ID, and contact information for the person receiving the shares.
Check the correct boxes for:
The type of transfer (full or partial)
The type of new owner (individual, joint, trust, or company)
Sign the form where shown. For joint accounts, all owners must sign.
Visit a Notary Public. The notary will witness your signature and fill in the final section.
Notary acknowledgement is required. We can't process your transfer without it. Make sure the notary signs and stamps the Acknowledgement of Notary section on page 3 before you upload the form.
Shareholders outside the USA: If you can't get a notary, include a copy of your valid passport with your request.
Include extra documents if:
The shareholder has died: Attach a copy of the death certificate and legal documents showing the signer has authority, such as a power of attorney or estate paperwork.
For joint accounts, the surviving holder can move the shares into their name alone. Submit the Share Transfer Form with a copy of the deceased holder's death certificate. You don't need a power of attorney.
DealMaker or the issuer asks for more: Depending on the transfer type, we may ask for other documents, such as trust agreements or corporate resolutions.
After you submit
The DealMaker Shareholder Services team may contact you after you submit to confirm your request. Once the transfer is done, your current book-entry statement will be removed.
We will create a DealMaker account for the new shareholder using the email on the form. Their book-entry statement will be uploaded to that account, ready to view and download.
