Whom do I tell if I change my name or address?
You should write to Legal & General's Registrar at:
Equiniti Limited
Aspect House
Spencer Road
Lancing
West Sussex BN99 6DA
If you have moved, then you should send details of both your old and new address to the Registrar. You can do this by completing the change of address form .
If you have married recently and your share certificate(s) are in your maiden name then you should send a copy of your marriage certificate together with your share certificate(s) for amendment.
If your name has changed for any other reason, please send a legal document confirming your name change together with your share certificate(s) for amendment.
I have several Legal & General share certificates. Can they be combined?
Shareholders with more than one Legal & General share certificate may arrange for them to be consolidated into a single certificate by contacting our Registrar. Their helpline number is 0870 600 3954.
Alternatively you can switch your paper holdings to electronic form. For more information please see our Electronic share dealing section.
What should I do if I lose my share certificate?
Please telephone the Registrar on 0870 600 3954 and ask for a replacement. You will be asked to complete and return a form of indemnity before the replacement is issued. Please note there is a nominal charge for this service.
I have not received my last dividend cheque. What should I do?
Dividends are normally payable early in May and in October. If you have not received a dividend which you believe should have been paid by cheque, you should contact our Registrar on 0870 600 3954. If you would prefer dividends to be paid direct to your bank or building society account in future please complete the dividend mandate form.
Can I check my shareholding online?
You can see details of your shareholding by visiting www.shareview.co.uk and creating a portfolio for your shareholdings. This is not limited to Legal and General shares. It can include shares of any other company where Equiniti Limited is the Registrar.
The Shareview service gives you:
- direct access to information held for you on the share register (including recent movements)
- a valuation of all investments held in your portfolio
- information and practical help for shareholders
- a quick holding enquiry option.
To use the portfolio service you will need your shareholder reference number (which can be found on your share certificate or most recent dividend counterfoil) and you will be asked to select your own PIN. For security reasons, a User ID will then be posted to your registered address.
Data transferred to your browser is encrypted and other internet users cannot gain access to your portfolio without your User ID and PIN.
I would like to reinvest my cash dividends. Does Legal & General offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan?
We now offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") so that your cash dividend can be used to purchase additional Legal & General shares. For more information you can download the DRIP booklet. To join the DRIP you need to complete the dividend mandate form and return it to Equiniti Limited at the address shown on the form, not less than 10 business days before the next dividend payment is due. You will find the next dividend date under "Financial Calendar" in this section of the website.
