Hi, im a little stuck. ive been trading US shares via a broker online for a while now but need some share certificates.

I have found sites like https://www.oneshare.com but they only do select companies.
does anybody know a website or service where i can get foreign (mainly US) certificates in my name?

thanks for any help.

I'm looking to put a paper certificate INTO an account and will probably use lowtrades.com. They charge $75 for this and IIRC the same for issuing a certificate. Not sure if there's any cheaper options for either - I've always found it troublesome to have paper IBM shares.

I'm suprised that brokers in America won't accept certificates in for free.. - thats the common method here.

You may want to give HSBC a call about their InvestDirect Plus account.. they told me once they accepted transfers in of US share certificates.
