Indonesian Company Registration Process

To legally operate a business in Indonesia, every company must complete a structured registration process involving several government authorities. Below is a brief overview of the key steps involved in establishing a company.

  • Business Name Reservation

    The company name is reserved through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MOLHR) to ensure it meets Indonesian naming requirements and is available for use.

  • Deed of Establishment

    This Indonesian-language document defines the company’s Articles of Association, business activities, and shareholders. It is drafted and prepared by GKI and notarized by a licensed Indonesian notary.

  • Application

    The notarized Deed of Establishment is submitted to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MOLHR) for review and approval. Once approved, the Ministry issues a Decree of Legalization (SK Pengesahan) confirming the company’s legal entity status.

  • Registration

    After legalization, the company is registered through the Online Single Submission – Risk-Based Approach (OSS-RBA) system. This process generates a Business Identification Number (NIB), which functions as the company’s main business license and registration ID.

  • Tax Identification Number (NPWP)

    Following OSS registration, GKI assists with obtaining a Tax Identification Number (NPWP) from the Directorate General of Taxes. This number is mandatory for all tax reporting and compliance activities in Indonesia.
