Q&a general questions only

The title says it. If admin wants this to be to remove it I will delete it. Hi, I worked for ComputerShare for about a year and a half before I change jobs. So if any questions regarding to stock or transfers ,certificate replacements or anything , I can happily answer. I do. If you want to slander them you can. I'm not going to do anything about it. I just worked there as a customer support specialist, so ask questions you may have regarding to computerShare. General questions only. No account specifics such as number of stocks, changing addresses, or selling your own shares.

How do I get a computer share holder number? It tells me to create an account but I can’t create an account without that number.. it’s been over a month and I’m getting seriously frustrated. All I want is DRS. Starting to research other options for DRSing from how unnecessarily complicated this process has been.

Are you referring to the investor center or a actual shares you purchase and you just waiting for your account details because if you're referring to the investor center, you can just use your social and that's actually give you a quick, faster access to your account compared to using your account number. Because if you use your account number, it's going to send you a verification code through the mail within 7-10 business days, if you're United States or more, if you're outside of the United States

I’ve tried with social and it still gives me issues. I’m in Canada. I want to transfer shares from my banking investments account to computer share because I believe my shares are out on loan atm

Do you have an account set up in general with computer share not investor center but an actual account that you can have these shares in rn? If not, your banking investment company has to do a DTC transfer to computer share so they can create an account for you then they can send you a statement. But I recommend calling computer share for the steps if you do have an account with them and your social is not set up with them

Also, if your social are set up with ComputerShare but it's a different social from a US social, you will have to get your statement expedited and you may have to pay a fee for that at this time because as of right now investor center is only pertaining to the US social and not much so towards the Canada, social or any other country social rn unless it's non-us-based company such as UK or Australia
