In January 2021, Indonesia ratified the Apostille Convention. The Apostille Convention specifies simple ways in which certain specified documents issued in a signatory country may be certified for legal purposes in another signatory country. The aim is to ease the progress of business between signatory countries by abolishing expensive and time consuming administrative procedures. The documents eligible for certification under the Apostille Convention are court documents, administrative documents, notarial acts, and official certificates. Diplomatic and commercial documents are excluded from the Apostille Convention. In addition, Indonesia is excluding any public documents issued by the Indonesian prosecutor office as the sole prosecuting office in Indonesia from the list of eligible documents to be certified under the Apostille Convention. The legalisation of documents is done by a “competent authority” attaching an Apostille certificate to the document. A list of competent authorities is held in the Hague. The competent authority in Indonesia has not yet been designated.
