# Do I get a paper stock certificate?
## We do not issue physical stock certificates. You will receive an electronic receipt in your email.
Investors do not receive a physical stock certificate. All shares purchased through Netcapital are recorded electronically, and your electronic receipt is your final receipt for your issued shares. This "book-entry" method of recording your ownership is how most stocks are issued today and helps to minimize the costs and problems associated with lost or missing certificates, which can be difficult for investors and companies alike to manage. Your shares and receipts can be viewed on [your Netcapital dashboard](https://netcapital.com/dashboard).
