It is not the same as [drafting a memorandum](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/memorandum-of-association/) for a new company, and it is not the same as an [amendment](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/moa-amendment/) that changes a clause, or an [annulment](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/moa-annulment/) that ends the memorandum when a company closes. If your memorandum has been amended since it was first signed, we attest it together with every addendum, because the current version of the company is the original memorandum read alongside all of them. Tell us why the memorandum is being asked for and we confirm what the attestation covers. We quote after reading the document. ## When an MOA attestation is needed ### Opening or reviewing a bank account A bank asking for a certified memorandum before it opens or reviews an account. [Send your MOA](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### A government or free zone submission A licence renewal or a government file that asks for the memorandum. [Send your MOA](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### A counterparty abroad A supplier or partner abroad confirming who they are dealing with. [Send your MOA](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### A dispute or court file Confirming the memorandum that applied at a given date. [Send your MOA](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ## What we check before attesting 01 The original memorandum Read in full, as first signed. 02 Every addendum since Each amendment, in the order it was signed. 03 The company name and licence Matching the current trade licence exactly. 04 Who is requesting the attestation An owner, a manager, or an authorised representative. 05 What the memorandum is being attested for A bank, a government department, or a party abroad. ## Getting the scope right An attested memorandum that leaves out a later amendment is worse than none, because it tells the bank or authority something that is no longer true. Before we attest, we ask whether the memorandum has been amended, and if so we attest the full set, the original and every addendum, together. If you are not certain whether an amendment exists, tell us and we check. How an MOA attestation is prepared 01 ### Contact us Send a WhatsApp message or book online, with a note of who is asking. 02 ### Share your documents Send the memorandum, every addendum, and the current trade licence. 03 ### We check the set We confirm the memorandum and addenda are complete and in order. 04 ### Attest and collect Attest at our office, online or at your home, and collect the document. ### What it costs | Document | Fee | | --- | --- | | MOA attestation, a true copy or confirmation of an existing memorandum | We quote after reading the document | Fees may vary with the document; we confirm the figure before you sign. ## What to bring The memorandum, every addendum since it was signed, the current trade licence, and passport or Emirates ID. Attestation ## MOA attestation Confirms the memorandum as it already stands. Amendment ## MOA amendment Changes one part of the memorandum. ![Partners signing a company document at a desk](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/memorandum-of-association-signing-8470831.jpg) ## What decides whether the attestation is accepted A bank or authority checks that the attested memorandum is read together with every addendum, that the company name matches the licence exactly, and that nothing in the set is missing. A memorandum attested without its addenda is often sent back once the gap is noticed. - Every addendum is attested alongside the original - The company name and legal form match the licence - The set is dated and in the right order ## Who attends, and what we check An owner, manager or authorised representative Passport or Emirates ID The memorandum and every addendum The current trade licence Why the attestation is needed ## Where an MOA attestation gets refused We cannot attest a memorandum where an addendum is missing from the set, because the memorandum alone no longer reflects the company. We cannot attest it where the company name differs from the current trade licence. If you are not sure whether every addendum has been signed, tell us before the visit, not after. ## Common problems, and the fix 01 An addendum is missing Fix: locate it, or sign it, before the attestation. 02 The company name differs from the licence Fix: match the memorandum wording to the licence exactly. 03 It is unclear which authority needs the attestation Fix: tell us who asked, we confirm what they need. 04 The memorandum was never updated after a change Fix: see MOA amendment to record the change first. After attestation 01 ### Submit it Send the attested memorandum to the bank or authority that asked for it. 02 ### Keep the set together Keep the memorandum, every addendum and the attestation together. 03 ### Add further attestation if needed Some uses abroad need an embassy or ministry step after ours. 04 ### Update the set after any later change A later amendment is attested as a new addendum to the same set. ![A drawer of archived files](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/docs-archive-drawers-61d7b6-1.jpg) ## If the memorandum is changing, not just being confirmed Attestation confirms the memorandum as it stands. If something about the company is actually changing, that needs an amendment, or an annulment if the company is closing. - [MOA amendment](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/moa-amendment/) - [MOA annulment](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/moa-annulment/) ![The DIFC facade in Dubai](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/dubai-difc-facade-a633a6-scaled.jpg) ## Send your memorandum and every addendum.

No. Attestation confirms the memorandum as it stands. An amendment changes it. #### Do you attest the memorandum with its addenda, or just the original? Together, as a set. An attestation without the addenda does not reflect the company as it stands. #### How much does MOA attestation cost? We quote after reading the memorandum and the addenda. #### Why would a bank ask for this? Usually to open or review an account, or to confirm the current ownership and management. #### Can a manager request the attestation alone? Where the manager is authorised to act for the company, yes. #### Does a free zone company use the same route? Some free zones handle this through their own registry, tell us the zone and we confirm the route. ## What clients say Reviews from our Google Business Profile, published as written. > Had experience of getting some of my documents attested from the firm.
