Countersigning
Your letter of indemnity will need to be guaranteed by an insurance company. Sometimes known as countersigning or 'joining in' an indemnity, this service may incur a small charge.
If the value of the missing certificates is less than £50,000, you can ask us to arrange the countersignature with our insurers whilst we process your letter of indemnity. There is a charge for this; the amount depends on the value of the replacement share certificates as the higher the value, the greater the risk to the insurer. The current charges are:
