As of June 26, 2025, the SEC has discontinued the use of the Joint Certification for Applications to Increase Capital Stock by Way of Cash Infusion. The temporary, simplified process—which combined the Certificate of Increase, Directors’ Certificate, Treasurer’s Affidavit, and Secretary’s Certificate—was halted.
