Section 10A-1-3.41 Certificated or Uncertificated Ownership Interest
Official statutory text
(a) Ownership interests in a domestic entity may be certificated or uncertificated.
(b) The ownership interests in a business corporation, real estate investment trust, or professional corporation must be certificated unless the governing documents of the entity or a resolution adopted by the governing authority of the entity states that the ownership interests are uncertificated.

(d) Unless an entity’s chapter specifically provides otherwise, no certificate of a certificated ownership interest shall be issued in bearer form.
