Authentication of Memorandum of Association (MOA) / Share Transfer Agreements / MOA Amendments ( Exceeding AED 100,000 )
The authentication of Memorandum of Association (MOA) is one of the fundamental steps in ensuring the legal establishment of companies in the United Arab Emirates, particularly in Dubai. The MOA defines the company’s legal structure, objectives, and scope of activities. Authenticating this document ensures compliance with legal requirements, allowing the company to operate lawfully and facilitating interactions with government authorities, banks, and investors.

• Types of Amendments and Attachments Requiring Authentication:

1. MOA Amendments: If the company wishes to modify its objectives or business activities, these changes must be officially authenticated to be accepted by the relevant authorities.
2. Share Transfer Agreements: In cases where company shares are transferred between partners, the MOA must be updated to reflect changes in ownership. This amendment requires authentication to remain legally valid.
3. Change in Legal Structure: Business owners may choose to change the legal structure of a company, such as converting from a sole proprietorship to a joint-stock company or from an LLC to a single-person LLC. These changes necessitate an amendment to the MOA, which must be authenticated.
   
4. Expansion or Opening New Branches: If a company intends to expand or open branches within or outside the UAE, the MOA must be amended and authenticated to reflect these changes legally.
