What do I need to do if I get married or change my name?

If you are a private shareholder, please write to Capita Registrars, giving:

  • The name(s) of the company(ies) in which you hold shares.
  • Full details of both your old and new names. Please ensure that you give your old name in exactly the form in which it is recorded on the Register of Shareholders - this can be seen on your share certificate or dividend counterfoil. Note - if you have more than one certificate for shares in the company, it could well be that your personal details are recorded differently on each certificate
  • Your Investor Code - which can be found on your share certificates or dividend counterfoil.

Enclose:

  • Share certificate(s) representing your total holding plus one of the following as appropriate:
    • An original Marriage Certificate
    • An original Deed Poll
    • A Statutory Declaration is acceptable if it bears both your old and new signatures.

How do I report the death of a shareholder?

The documentation required to register the death of a shareholder is dependant on the type of shareholding. Please write to Capita Registrars stating:

  • The full name of the shareholder, as shown on each of their share certificate(s).
  • The name of the company in which they hold shares.

If the account is held solely in the name of the Deceased, enclose one of the following:

  • Sealed copy Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.
  • For Scottish residents the equivalent document is a Certificate of Confirmation.
  • Share certificate(s) representing total holding.

Alternatively if Probate (or the equivalent) is not being sought due to the small value of the estate, you can apply to use a Small Estate Procedure, providing the total value of the UK estate is under £20,000 and the total value within the estate of shares is under £10,000. If you require the Small Estates forms for completion, please contact our Shareholder Helpline on 0870 162 3100.

If the account was held jointly with another person then enclose:

  • Death Certificate.
  • Share certificate(s) for amendment.

How do I get my dividend paid directly into my bank account?

Having your dividend paid directly into your bank account is called a dividend mandate. It ensures receipt of your dividend on the payment date, thus maximising interest and removes the need for you to pay a cheque into your account. It also ensures that dividends are received even if changes of address have not been notified to our Registrars.

To set up a dividend mandate, click here to download a dividend mandate form from our registrars website . When completing the form, please ensure that:

  • The form is signed by all the shareholders where indicated.
  • The Bank Sort Code, Bank Account Number (or Roll Number if your account is held at a Building Society) are correct.
  • If the dividends are being mandated to a third party, the completed form must then be stamped by the Bank/Building Society to verify the details stated are correct.

Guidance notes are available here.
