Tips for completing your transfer<br />

In general<br />

• If you have questions or need assistance, please<br />

call us at 800-992-8327. We want to help.<br />

• Use a separate form for each account that you are<br />

transferring.<br />

• If you have more than one <strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong><br />

account, use a separate form for each brokerage<br />

account.<br />

• Make sure you’ve removed any restrictions on your<br />

account, paid any fees, and settled your margin<br />

debt, outstanding trades, and other debits.<br />

Section 1<br />

If you haven’t already set up a <strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong><br />

account, ask us for a <strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong> <strong>Account</strong><br />

Application and submit it along with this form<br />

(on which we’ll record your new account number).<br />

Transfers should occur between “like” registered<br />

accounts—same account owner, Social Security<br />

number, and account type. If your <strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong><br />

account and your current firm account are registered<br />

differently, complete Sections 7 and 8 of this form.<br />

Section 2<br />

Use the most recent statement from your current firm<br />

as a guide to fill out this section.<br />

Note: For the firm address, use a street address. Do<br />

not include a P.O. box number.<br />

If you have more than one account at another<br />

company, use one form for each account.<br />

Section 3<br />

Be sure to attach a complete account statement, dated<br />

within the past 90 days, from your current firm. The<br />

statement should show all the assets you plan to<br />

transfer as well as your name, address, and account<br />

number.<br />

Note: If we don’t have a complete account statement,<br />

we will be unable to process your request.<br />

Section 4<br />

Indicate the type of retirement or nonretirement<br />

account. Check only one box.<br />

Section 5<br />

For a partial transfer of assets from your current<br />

brokerage account, list the assets here and on additional<br />

sheets if necessary. Sign and date each sheet.<br />

If you are transferring proceeds from a maturing CD,<br />

we must receive this form at least 14 days, but not<br />

more than 30 days, before the maturity date, or it will<br />

be returned to you.<br />

For mutual fund transfers, make sure you indicate how<br />

you want us to handle dividends and capital gains<br />

distributions.<br />

Note: The distribution option for stocks or mutual<br />

funds held at your current brokerage firm—that is,<br />

whether your dividends and capital gains are to be<br />

reinvested or paid out in cash—might not be carried<br />

over to <strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong>. Call us at 800-992-8327<br />

to ensure that distributions on these assets will be<br />

handled appropriately after your transfer is completed.<br />

Section 6<br />

All owners of the account at your current firm must<br />

sign this form for the transfer to proceed.<br />

Section 7<br />

You must complete this section—the Letter of<br />

Authorization—if the registrations on the accounts at<br />

your current firm and at <strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong> differ. All<br />

owners of the current and new accounts must sign.<br />

Section 8<br />

You may be required to obtain a Medallion signature<br />

guarantee for your protection (to certify that your<br />

signature is genuine). If so, the form must be signed in<br />

the presence of an authorized officer of a bank,<br />

brokerage firm, trust company, or other financial<br />

institution that participates in the Medallion signature<br />

guarantee program. Note: A notary public cannot<br />

provide a signature guarantee.<br />

<strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong> requires a Medallion signature<br />

guarantee if the registrations on your accounts are not<br />

identical. All owners of the current account and the<br />

new <strong>Vanguard</strong> <strong>Brokerage</strong> account must sign.<br />

If the registrations on the two accounts are identical,<br />

check to see whether the transferring firm still requires<br />

a Medallion signature guarantee.
