When you need a legalised Memorandum of Association (MOA) in the Philippines
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 the Philippines 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. The Philippines accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
