If you buy shares on the stock market and do so with the intention of receiving a certificate for the purchase then you should be aware that it not produced by the stockbroker who is in the same position as the purchaser - awaiting delivery from the registrar after the transfer relating to the purchase has been registered.
If the purchase relates to a company registered in Ireland it is possible that the issue of the certificate would take even longer and no matter how many times the broker approaches the registrar, it will not speed up the process.
The transfer goes through many stages before a certificate is produced and although as a shareholder you have the right to expect quick delivery, it is not always possible.
