How to mail a security certificate:

If you are sending an actual security certificate, please include an original letter, signed by you or your broker, giving Episcopal Relief & Development permission to transfer the ownership of certificates.

Before mailing the actual certificate(s), be sure to sign each one exactly as your name appears on the document. Make sure to have a Signature Guarantee to endorse the transfer by asking your bank to stamp a medallion signature certification ensuring the authenticity of your signature.

The certificate(s) must be accompanied by a stock power letter (one for each certificate) giving Episcopal Relief & Development ownership of the certificate. Please include a copy of the original letter, which gives Episcopal Relief & Development permission to transfer the certificate, along with the certificate and stock power letter.

Mail the certificate(s) along with stock power letter(s) and original letter to the address below.

Note: If you are sending actual certificates accompanied by stock power letters, they should be sent to Episcopal Relief & Development using a courier service that can provide a tracking number.
