A medallion signature guarantee should not be confused with notarization as it has a different purpose and cannot be carried out by a notary unless he or she is certified in a financial institution’s Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.
A medallion signature guarantee is, in short, the certification from the issuing financial institution’s certification that a signature related to the transfer or sale of securities is authentic. Only banks or other financial institutions that have been certified to issue medallion signature guarantees can provide this service.
