Where can I find information on transferring my brokerage account?
Many investors are concerned with the smooth transfer of their accounts from one brokerage firm to another, a process that typically takes two to three weeks.  This time frame, however, may vary depending upon such factors as the assets involved, the types of accounts, and the institutions between which the transfer occurs.

For more information on the transfer process, as well as tips on how to avoid problems with your transfer, read Transferring Your Brokerage Account: Tips on Avoiding Delays  from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
