Hey Metoo.  Short answer is no, I still have them.

When in the UK for a couple of months, I setup a Hargreaves Lansdowne account, and plan was to then transfer paper certificates to them and sell them off. 

Due to being dual citizen, this led to me needing to provide additional evidence (with fees) to prove who I was.

Then there was fees for converting from paper to digital.  

Ended up just sitting on them - made sure I changed the Dividend Reinvestment Plan to off, and pay dividends into UK bank accounts, and use that money to buy the family the Birthday presents.  

Put it in the too hard basket for now, and will re-visit next time I am back in the UK or have some time to make a bunch of international calls.

Let me know if you have any luck!

Any recommendations on someone to go with then?  A friend in the UK mentioned Hargreaves 

Born in UK, lived in Australia last 12 years - dual citizen.

In the UK, I own some shares in BP p.l.c

I have my original share certificate which was for 700 units.

With Dividend Reinvesting turned on, this has now accrued to 829 shares.

I have access to mybpshares, but this wont let you sell.
It mentions the below:

There is no direct facility to buy or sell shares using the bp Share Centre. Investors normally use a stockbroker, bank, building society or 'share shops' to buy or sell shares on the open market.

Any advice on how to sell BP shares from overseas?

I spotted this forum post:

the BP Registrar in the UK - absolutely REFUSE to help Australian shareholders

Any ideas?  Not likely to be heading back anytime soon and need to liquidate some money back home to lend to family fairly quick.

Recieved an email ' The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc 2019 Annual Results have now been published '

Was trying to view these in uk.Computershare. Computershare not letting me login (even though I am using the correct username) so went to register for new account.

When asked to select a company you own shares in, the type-ahead does not have Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc listed?

Can someone point out where I am going wrong?

Trying to use the contact form on ComputerShare just sends me in a circle and cant call the UK at the moment.

Can I ask if you application was lodged as Decision Ready or not? Thanks.

I actually had to go look this up, as was not aware of what it meant.

Provide Registered Migration Agents with the capacity to certify their applications as decision ready

No. Ive done my application myself via the eVisa system, but have all the requested docs on the checklist uploaded and waiting for a case officer to review.

I got in there quick and lodged my 186 on 5th July.

Ive still not got a CO allocated.

eVisa still just states application recieved.

Paramatta office.

No idea if its done on first come, first served, but if so, ill let you know as soon as I get any change.

yea, similar situation.

I was thinking about attaching a note (.txt) to my online app, saying that ive done medicals, have the paper copy with me, and that IMMI advised on phone that it would appear in eHealth for them, but I did ask about 2-3 days after the 186 was introduced, so im also thinking that perhaps this may slip through.

I will phone them, just cant today, as its usually a good 1hr wait till u get though. Ill keep u posted

I got in there quick and lodged my 186 on 5th July.

Uploaded all docs that are on the checklist (no form 80, which was nice).

Still not heard from a case officer, will be ringing tomorrow.

Some other info on here.
