Is Jakarta Part of the Hague Convention?

Is Jakarta Part of the Hague Apostille Convention?

Yes, Jakarta, like the rest of Indonesia, is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.

If you’re living in Jakarta, Indonesia, and need to use official documents abroad, you can apply for an apostille to make your documents accepted in other countries.

What Is the Hague Apostille Convention?

The Hague Apostille Convention, officially known as the “Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents” simplifies the process of authenticating public documents for use in member countries. 

Instead of having to certify a document at many governmental and consular offices, a document can be certified with a single Apostille.

Indonesia and the Hague Apostille Convention

Indonesia officially joined the Hague Apostille Convention on June 4, 2022. This means that public documents issued anywhere in Indonesia, including Jakarta, no longer require the traditional legalization process if they are intended for use in other member countries of the Apostille Convention.

How Does This Impact Jakarta?

As the capital city and a major hub for business and international relations, Jakarta generates a significant number of public documents for international use. These include:

  • Birth certificates
  • Marriage certificates
  • Academic transcripts and diplomas
  • Business and corporate documents
  • Power of attorney documents

Thanks to Indonesia’s membership in the Hague Apostille Convention, these documents can now be authenticated more efficiently through the apostille process.

Who Issues Apostilles in Jakarta?

The Indonesian government has designated the Ministry of Law and Human Rights as the competent authority for issuing apostilles. Residents or businesses in Jakarta can submit their documents to this ministry for apostille certification.

This can be done in person or on the Ministry’s website.

Alternatively, you can contact Bali Apostille Service to streamline the process.
Whether you’re in Jakarta or elsewhere in Indonesia, we can:

  • Review your documents to ensure they’re ready for apostille certification.
  • Handle the submission process with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
  • Deliver your completed apostille directly to you or to its final destination abroad.

Couldn't expect more. I needed an Apostille for the Birth Certificate of my daughter and they've been able to help me immediately. I didn't even know where to start and they provided a super fast service. Would recommend them to anyone, and will use their services if I'll need them again in the future. Thanks again!

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.
