A certified true copy of an amended MOA is a copy of the updated document, issued after the relevant authority has approved the shareholder or ownership change, that has been compared against the original and certified as a true and accurate copy. It reflects the company’s current shareholding structure, not the structure at original incorporation.

This certification is carried out by our own licensed lawyers and legal consultants, and is usually requested once the amendment itself has already been formally registered.

## Certified Copies of Your Amended MOA

If your company has recently amended its MOA following a shareholder or ownership change, you may now need a certified true copy of MOA for shareholder changes in Dubai to share with your bank, a government authority or a business partner. This page covers what typically needs to be certified and how.

## Who Needs This

- Companies that have transferred shares between existing partners
- Companies that have added a new shareholder or investor
- Companies where a shareholder has exited
- Sole establishments that converted to an LLC structure with partners
- Companies restructuring ownership ahead of new investment

## Who Can Request the Certification

- A director of the company
- A general manager
- An authorized signatory named on the amended MOA
- A power of attorney holder acting for the company

## How It Works

1. Confirm the amended MOA has been formally issued by the relevant authority.
2. Share the document type and who the certified copy is for.
3. Provide the original amended MOA and supporting documents for examination.
4. The documents are examined and certified in house by one of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants.
5. Collect the certified copies or have them delivered.

## Mistakes to Avoid

- Submitting the old, pre-amendment MOA instead of the updated version
- Requesting certification before the authority has finalized the amendment
- Mismatched shareholder names across the MOA, trade license and passports
- Leaving out the amendment resolution or approval letter itself
- Assuming one certified set covers every recipient without checking their specific requirements

## Real Situations

A company adds a new shareholder and its bank asks for a certified copy of the updated MOA before amending the account mandate.

A partner exits the business and the remaining shareholders need a certified copy of the amended MOA to support a new loan application.

An investor’s due diligence team asks for certified evidence of the company’s current ownership ahead of a funding round.

## How This Differs From General MOA Certification

Our main Certified True Copy of MOA & [Certificate of Incorporation page](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/certified-true-copy-of-moa-certificate-of-incorporation/) covers certification of your standing MOA. This page is specifically about certifying the document after it has changed, where timing matters because the certified copy needs to reflect the amendment, not the original shareholding.

Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

Questions

## Frequently Asked Questions

Usually only the current, amended MOA needs to be certified for ongoing use, but some banks, authorities or partners may also ask to see the amendment resolution alongside it. Confirm the exact requirement with the requesting party.

Generally only after the relevant authority has formally approved and issued the amended document. Certifying before the amendment is finalized can result in a rejected submission.

This depends on the licensed legal professional handling the certification and the nature of the request. In many cases a director, general manager, authorized signatory or power of attorney holder can attend on the company’s behalf.

There is no fixed rule, but banks, authorities and partners often expect updated documentation promptly after a change is registered.

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