Overview

Memorandum of Association (MOA) for South Africa: what and why

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.

Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.

Authorities, banks and business partners in South Africa 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. South Africa accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
