Laws of Mauritius.
Access the legal framework of the Republic of Mauritius through the official Laws of Mauritius portal maintained by the Attorney-General’s Office, including Acts, Regulations, Proclamations and Reprints.
Understanding the law begins with access to the right source.
Mauritius has an extensive body of legislation governing public institutions, civil society, employment, taxation, education, health, associations, commerce, data protection and many other areas of national life.
Because legislation changes over time, YUVA does not attempt to reproduce the complete body of Mauritian law on this website.
Instead, this page provides direct access to the official legal resources maintained by the Attorney-General’s Office so that users can search the latest available legislation at its source.
YUVA provides this page as a civic and educational reference. It does not replace official legislation or professional legal advice.
Find the type of legal document you need.
The Attorney-General’s Office provides dedicated collections for different forms of Mauritian legislation.
A few steps can make legal research much easier.
Start with the issue you are researching, such as associations, employment, education, privacy or public administration.
Search by legislation title or use available keywords and filters to narrow the results.
Confirm that the document and amendments you are relying on reflect the version relevant to your enquiry.
Avoid relying only on summaries when the precise legal wording affects a decision or obligation.
Different legal documents perform different functions.
Acts establish legal rules and frameworks enacted through the legislative process. They may also empower a Minister or another authority to make subsidiary legislation.
Regulations provide more detailed legal rules under powers granted by an Act. They should therefore be read together with the legislation under which they are made.
Proclamations may be used where legislation provides for a matter to be formally proclaimed, commenced or otherwise brought into legal effect.
Revised materials help present legislation in a consolidated form so amendments and updates can be read more coherently.
Law is not only for lawyers.
Laws shape the institutions, rights, responsibilities and standards that affect everyday life. Accessible legal information can help citizens, organisations and communities understand the frameworks within which they act.
For civil-society organisations, legal awareness is particularly relevant to governance, registration, financial accountability, employment, volunteering, privacy, safeguarding and programme administration.
- understand rights and responsibilities;
- verify the legal basis of organisational obligations;
- identify rules relevant to community and nonprofit activity;
- distinguish legislation from informal guidance;
- ask better questions when professional legal advice is needed.
Search legislation through the Attorney-General’s Office.
The Laws of Mauritius portal provides public access to legislation and includes search tools for Acts, Regulations, Proclamations and Reprints. Documents available through the official portal should be used when accurate and current legal text is required.
