How to Apostille Company Documents in Indonesia

Featured Image

If your business needs to use company documents abroad, you may be required to have them apostilled. An apostille is an official certification that verifies the authenticity of documents for international use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.

In Indonesia, obtaining an apostille for company documents involves several steps. This guide will walk you through the process to ensure your business documents are properly legalized.

Which Company Documents Can Be Apostilled in Indonesia?

Common corporate documents that require an apostille include:

  • Company Registration Certificate (SIUP/NIB)
  • Deed of Establishment or Deed of Incorporation (Akta Pendirian)
  • Approval of the Establishment of a Limited Liability Legal Entity (Surat Keputusan Kemenkumham)
  • Business Licenses (Izin Usaha)
  • Shareholder Resolutions (Keputusan Pemegang Saham)
  • Tax Registration Certificate (NPWP)
  • Power of Attorney related to business matters (Surat Kuasa)

Step-by-Step Process to Apostille Company Documents in Indonesia

Step 1: Notarization

Before a company document can be apostilled, it must be notarized by a notary public registered in Indonesia. This step confirms that the document is authentic and valid.

For company documents issued by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia, i.e. Kemenkumham), notarization is not required. However, for other documents, notarization is necessary before proceeding with the apostille process.

Step 2: Apostille or Legalization

This step ensures that the notary’s signature and seal are recognized by the Indonesian government.

First, check whether the country where you intend to use the document is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.

  • If yes, once the document is certified by a notary public in Indonesia, you can obtain an apostille from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
    An apostille eliminates the need for further legalization at embassies or consulates.
  • If no, the document will require traditional legalization instead. This process involves additional steps, such as obtaining certification from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before submission to the relevant embassy or consulate of the country where the document will be used.

To avoid confusion, it’s best to check the specific requirements of the destination country or consult Bali Apostille Service for expert guidance.

How to Get an Apostille

You have a couple of options when it comes to applying for an apostille.

First, you can make use of an experienced agency such as Bali Apostille Service in order to save time and headache. We make sure you get the apostille from your first try, and in most cases you won’t have to leave your home!

Alternatively, you can apply directly at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights’ website at https://apostille.ahu.go.id.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to get an apostille in Indonesia:

  1. Prepare Your Document
    • Make sure that your document is an original, or a certified copy of the original. To get a certified copy, you can visit your local notary or ask Bali Apostille Service for help.
  2. Apply For the Apostille
  3. Wait For Completion
    • Wait for the ministry to finish the verification process and then issue your apostille. This normally takes 5 – 10 business days.
  4. Visit The Nearest Kemenkumham Office to Receive Your Apostille
    • Once the apostille is complete, you can visit the nearest Kemenkumham office to print your apostille. Don’t forget to take your Passport or KTP identification with you!

Do You Need a Translation?

Please note that apostille certificates will be issued in both Indonesian and English. If your document needs to be translated into a language other than English or Indonesian, you may also need a sworn translation for both the document and the apostille.

What Does An Indonesian Apostille Look Like?

The apostille certificate is printed on an official paper by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

I recently used Bali Apostille Service, and I couldn't be more pleased with their exceptional service. They handled everything seamlessly from start to finish. They picked up the documents from me for signing, got them notarized, and had them apostilled with efficiency and professionalism.What truly stood out was their excellent communication. They kept me updated at every step and promptly answered all my queries. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free.They even mailed the documents to another country for me, there was an only the extra charge for DHL fees, this added convenience and reliability is what makes them better than all the similar service providers.I had actually contacted many other such service providers, either they responded late or the pricing was unfair or the process was not seamless (I needed to do some extra physical effort to make it all happen).But not with these guys, I basically laid on my couch, and they did everything.The pricing is fair, and the quality of service is outstanding. I trusted them with my very important documents, and I'm so glad I did. Highly recommended!

Very professional, fast and efficient service. Answered all my questions very quickly, and processed the notarization and apostille seal for a power of attorney to be used in a European country. Would use again, and recommend to anyone looking for such service in Bali.
