Direct Registration System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Direct Registration System is an electronic system for registering stock with a corporation's transfer agent. [1] These shares are called book-entry shares, and can be transferred to and from a brokerage account. For example, shares held by IBM's transfer agent can be transferred by completing a DRS form.
