UAE AOA Extraction

Overview & Purpose

The UAE AOA Extraction Service (Articles of Association) is designed to streamline the extraction process for UAE AOA using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. By leveraging advanced OCR algorithms, our solution accurately extracts key information such as business name, address, business activities and shareholder patterns etc. from AOA documents.

UAE AOA

AOA (Articles of Association) is one of the foundational legal documents required to incorporate a company in the UAE, particularly under the mainland and free zone jurisdictions. Key contents of AOA can be :-

Internal governance rules of the company

Duties and rights of shareholders and directors

Voting rights and procedures for general meetings

Dividend distribution rules

Transfer of shares and restrictions, if any

Appointment and removal of directors

Rules on company liquidation

Required during incorporation with authorities like:

Department of Economic Development (DED) for mainland companies

Free zone authorities (like DMCC, DAFZA, etc.) for free zone entities

Must be notarized and/or attested in many cases
