How do I endorse stock certificates over to TD AMERITRADE to open an account?
On the back of the certificate designate TD AMERITRADE, Inc. as the attorney to transfer the stock. This means the securities are negotiable only by TD AMERITRADE, Inc. and can be mailed safely. Then all you need to do is sign and date the certificate; you can leave all the other areas blank. Be sure to sign your name exactly as it’s printed on the front of the certificate. Requirements may differ for entity and corporate accounts. Additionally, there may be additional paperwork needed when the account registration does not match the name(s) on the certificate. Please contact a TD AMERITRADE representative for more information.
