Overview

What is moa attestation?

The Memorandum of Association states your company's name, registered office, objects and capital. Registries abroad check it to confirm that your company is allowed to carry on the business it plans there.

A certified copy of the latest MOA is notarised and attested by a Chamber of Commerce, then sent to the MEA. Embassy countries legalise it afterwards; Hague countries accept the MEA apostille.

Who issues it in India

The MOA is filed with the Registrar of Companies; the copy legalised is certified as a true copy by a director or company secretary.

Why it is needed abroad

Joint venture approvals
