Revision as of 12:24, 3 July 2006 by Grafikm fr (talk | contribs) (finished creating)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)In corporate law, a stock certificate (also known as certificate of stock) is a legal document that certifies legal ownership of a specific number of stock shares in a corporation. Note that in large corporation, buying shares does not always lead to a stock certificate (in a case of a small number of shares purchased by a private individual, for instance).
Usually (but not always, and the legislation depends on the country as well on clauses defined by the corporation itself), only shareholders with stock certificates can vote in a shareholders' general meeting.
