Overview

When you need a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA) in Japan

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.

Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Japan usually ask for a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA) for company or branch registration, joint venture approvals or 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. Japan accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

The Japan process for an Indian Memorandum of Association (MOA)

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and any list your buyer or authority in Japan gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the Memorandum of Association (MOA) or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The Memorandum of Association (MOA) is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

What to send us

  • Certified Japanese translation, if the authority in Japan asks (we arrange it)
  • Certificate of incorporation copy
  • Certified true copy of the latest MOA
  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Board resolution for the purpose abroad

Avoid rejection

  • Legalise the AOA in the same batch; most registries want both.
  • Bind multi-page copies so pages cannot be swapped.
  • Use the latest amended MOA filed with the ROC.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
