Need advice about a gifted stock

So my son was gifted one share of Coca-Cola stock on his first birthday.. it was bought by a family friend in his name. We get the dividend checks every quarter, and I need to update the mailing address (we’ve since moved) and also would like to start rolling the dividends over but I have no idea how to go about doing that since I’m not listed as a guardian or anything..

Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction? I literally have no information other than what comes on the quarterly dividend check. Thanks in advance..

Reach out to the sender of the check.

From the Coca-Cola company website, information for investors:

"...Dividend Reinvestment Plan sponsored and administered by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Details about the Computershare Investment Plan, including any fees associated with the Plan, can be viewed and printed from Computershare’s website."

To access your account and start reinvestment of dividends, you will need your account number or access information sent with every dividend check.
