{"data":{"id":"us-wa/rcw-62a.8-304","jurisdiction":"us-wa","citation":"RCW 62A.8-304","heading":"Indorsement.","body":"(1) An indorsement may be in blank or special. An indorsement in blank includes an indorsement to bearer. A special indorsement specifies to whom a security is to be transferred or who has power to transfer it. A holder may convert a blank indorsement to a special indorsement.\n(2) An indorsement purporting to be only of part of a security certificate representing units intended by the issuer to be separately transferable is effective to the extent of the indorsement.\n(3) An indorsement, whether special or in blank, does not constitute a transfer until delivery of the certificate on which it appears or, if the indorsement is on a separate document, until delivery of both the document and the certificate.\n(4) If a security certificate in registered form has been delivered to a purchaser without a necessary indorsement, the purchaser may become a protected purchaser only when the indorsement is supplied. However, against a transferor, a transfer is complete upon delivery and the purchaser has a specifically enforceable right to have any necessary indorsement supplied.\n(5) An indorsement of a security certificate in bearer form may give notice of an adverse claim to the certificate, but it does not otherwise affect a right to registration that the holder possesses.\n(6) Unless otherwise agreed, a person making an indorsement assumes only the obligations provided in RCW 62A.8-108 and not an obligation that the security will be honored by the issuer.","path":["Title 62A","Chapter 62A.8"],"source_url":"https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=62A.8-304","current_through":"July 15, 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T03:39:20Z","sha256":"b45edc4989ff956175fcf057cf201ce9b4509bc4ea18b2d1503d73e3047fc4af","source_id":"us-wa","stale":false,"prev":"us-wa/rcw-62a.8-303","next":"us-wa/rcw-62a.8-305"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
