Certified True Copy of MOA for KYC Refresh and Due Diligence

Get a certified true copy of your MOA and Certificate of Incorporation for a bank KYC refresh or an investor or partner due diligence request, examined and certified in house by our own licensed UAE lawyers.

A certified true copy of the MOA and Certificate of Incorporation for a KYC refresh or due diligence request is a copy of your current constitutional documents that has been compared against the original and certified as a true and accurate copy. It is used to satisfy periodic compliance checks rather than a one-time account opening requirement.

This is carried out by our own licensed lawyers and legal consultants, and should reflect your company’s current, up to date documents, including any amendments made since incorporation.

Certified Documents for Your Compliance Review

If your bank, an investor or a partner has asked you to resubmit certified true copy of MOA for KYC refresh in Dubai, this page covers what that request usually involves and how to get it done without delay.

Who Needs This

  • Companies asked by their bank for a periodic KYC refresh
  • Companies undergoing investor due diligence ahead of a funding round
  • Companies responding to a partner’s due diligence request before a contract or joint venture
  • Companies renewing compliance files with a payment processor or other financial institution

Who Can Request the Certification

  • A director of the company
  • A general manager
  • An authorized signatory named on the MOA or trade license
  • A power of attorney holder acting for the company

How It Works

  1. Confirm the exact document list your bank, investor or partner has requested for this cycle.
  2. Provide the original MOA and Certificate of Incorporation for examination.
  3. The documents are examined and certified in house by one of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants.
  4. Certified copies are issued in the number of sets you need.
  5. Submit the certified copies before your compliance deadline.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting an outdated MOA that does not reflect the latest amendments
  • Leaving out a requested UBO declaration
  • Letting the certified copy’s validity lapse before the submission deadline
  • Not confirming the exact document list the compliance team has asked for this cycle

Real Situations

A company receives a KYC refresh notice from its bank and needs certified constitutional documents resubmitted within a set window.

A company preparing for a strategic partnership is asked by the partner’s due diligence team to provide certified evidence of its current ownership and structure.

A company closing a funding round needs certified MOA and Certificate of Incorporation copies for the investor’s compliance file.

How This Differs From General MOA Certification

Our main Certified True Copy of MOA & Certificate of Incorporation page covers a one-off certification request. A KYC refresh or due diligence request is usually recurring and comes with a compliance deadline set by the requesting bank, investor or partner, which changes how the timing should be planned.

Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

This varies by bank and by the risk classification of the account, and is set by each bank’s own compliance policy.

The document requirements are often similar, but a KYC refresh is a recurring compliance exercise on an existing account, usually with a deadline, rather than a one-time requirement for opening a new account.

Some banks and due diligence processes ask for an Ultimate Beneficial Owner declaration alongside certified constitutional documents. Confirm with the requesting bank or partner whether this applies to your submission.

Consequences vary by bank and can include account restrictions. We recommend checking directly with your bank about their specific policy.

Same-day or urgent certification may be possible depending on document readiness. See our Same-Day / Urgent Certified True Copy Attestation page.
