Who it's for
This process is designed for investors who need to gift shares to someone else or move shares between different legal entities.

What it costs you
While there is no brokerage fee for this method, you may be required to pay stamp duty depending on the rules in certain states.

- Complete all required sections of the paperwork.
- Provide the required identity verification documents.
- Submit the completed forms to the relevant registry services.
