Types of MOA we translate

Mainland companies registered with the Department of Economic Development follow UAE Commercial Companies Law requirements. The MOA includes specific articles about capital structure, partner obligations, profit distribution, and management authority.

We use terminology recognized by DED and UAE courts to ensure the translation serves its purpose in official proceedings. See our legal translation services for court-ready documents.

Free zone MOAs are governed by the respective free zone authority and often follow different templates with provisions specific to that zone's regulations. Each authority has preferred terminology and formatting.

We translate for all UAE free zones including DMCC, JAFZA, RAKEZ, SHAMS, and others.

Common law free zones like DIFC and ADGM use different corporate structures including companies limited by shares, limited liability partnerships, and other forms. The documents follow English common law conventions.

We handle Articles of Association, Shareholders' Agreements, and other corporate governance documents for these jurisdictions.

If your MOA has been amended since initial formation, we translate the current consolidated version. If you need translation of both the original and amendments separately, we can provide that as a package.

Where you will use your MOA translation

UAE banks require MOA translations as part of corporate account opening. The translation must clearly show company ownership, authorized signatories, and capital structure.

For personal banking documents, see our bank statement translation services.

When applying for additional trade licenses or expanding business activities, authorities need to verify your existing company structure. A certified MOA translation supports these applications.

Many government entities and large corporations require translated MOAs as part of vendor registration or tender submissions. The translation demonstrates your company's legal standing and structure.

Investors reviewing your company need to understand the corporate structure. A certified translation of the MOA provides clarity on ownership percentages, voting rights, and governance provisions. For Golden Visa investor applications, additional documents may be needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Mainland MOA and a Freezone MOA?

A Mainland MOA is registered with DED and follows UAE Commercial Companies Law, with specific provisions about capital, partners, and profit distribution. Freezone MOAs are governed by the respective free zone authority with provisions specific to that zone. We adapt translation terminology to match the regulatory context of your company structure.

Is this translation accepted for bank account opening?

Yes. Our MOJ-certified MOA translations are accepted by all major UAE banks for corporate account opening. The translation includes all elements banks require: ownership structure, authorized signatories, capital details, and the official MOJ stamp.

Do you translate MOA amendments separately?

We can translate your current consolidated MOA, or we can translate the original MOA plus each amendment separately, depending on your needs. Let us know how the documents will be used and we will advise on the appropriate approach.

How long does MOA translation take?

Standard service delivers within 24 hours for typical MOAs. Express service completes in 6 hours. Complex MOAs with multiple schedules or lengthy shareholder agreements may require additional time, which we confirm upfront.

Can you translate MOAs from other countries?

Yes. We translate corporate formation documents from companies registered in any country. Foreign MOAs typically need attestation for use in the UAE. We verify attestation status during our pre-validation review.
