Why Austria asks for a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA)
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. The MOA is filed with the Registrar of Companies; the copy legalised is certified as a true copy by a director or company secretary.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
In Austria, a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA) is typically requested for company or branch registration; it is also used for joint venture approvals and tender qualification.
The Memorandum of Association (MOA) issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Austria accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
