First time trading: How do I register shares so I can sell them?

[jolly]

My partner worked for Woolworths for 10+ years and during that time was given shares on a yearly basis.

We now want to sell them and use that money to start trading. We have just opened up a Commsec account but how do we go about registering those shares to her Commsec account so we can sell them?

Thank you in advance for any help.
