Memorandum of Association

A Memorandum of Association is a document produced when a company is formed. It includes the names of all subscribers to the memorandum and confirms that those named wish to form the company and take at least one share.

Companies House produces the document automatically when you register your company online. For paper applications, though, you must complete it yourself and request signatures from all subscribers. 

A record of the Memorandum of Association will be kept online at Companies House, and can be accessed by the public through the Companies House website. 

Organisations overseas may request a notarised copy of your Memorandum of Association for a variety of reasons.  It is commonly requested along with the certificate of incorporation and articles of association of a company.

Notarisation adds an extra layer of authenticity, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and regulations.

If your document is requested by a party outside of the UK, reach out to our qualified notaries, who can check your specific needs. Some countries require an apostille and/or consular legalisation in addition to notarisation. We can complete the entire process to get your document certified as soon as possible.

1. Get in touch: Contact us with the details of your requirements or schedule an appointment.
2. Document verification: Provide us with the company registration number and we can obtain the Memorandum of Association directly from the Companies House website.
3. Personal identification: Provide us with two forms of valid ID, such as a passport and utility bill, to confirm your identity.
4. Notarisation: One of our experienced notaries will verify the authenticity of the document and affix a notarial certificate to it.
5. Apostille (if required): If the document’s destination country requires an apostille, we will obtain this for you from the FCDO office in Milton Keynes.
6. Notary certificate: We will return the document with a certificate of notarisation, acknowledging that your document is legally verified.
