🔑 Key Points about Apostille in Indonesia:

1. Purpose

   • The Apostille certifies the authenticity of a public document (such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, notarial deeds, academic diplomas, court documents, etc.) so it is valid abroad.

   • It replaces the old multi-step legalization process that required both the Ministry of Law & Human Rights, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the foreign embassy.

2. Authority in Indonesia

   • The Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) is the designated authority to issue Apostilles in Indonesia.

   • Applications are typically submitted through the Apostille online system managed by Kemenkumham.

3. Documents Eligible

   • Civil documents: birth, marriage, death certificates.

   • Educational documents: diplomas, transcripts, certificates.

   • Court decisions or notarial deeds.

   • Other official documents issued by government institutions.

4. Process

   • Submit the document to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (physically or online, depending on type).

   • Pay the processing fee.

   • Receive the Apostille certificate, which is attached to the document.

   • The Apostilled document can then be used directly in other Hague member countries.

5. Validity

   • Apostille does not change the content of the document, only certifies its authenticity.

   • Apostilled documents are accepted in over 120 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

✅ In short: Apostille Legalization in Indonesia is the simplified international document authentication system under the Hague Convention, issued by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, allowing Indonesian documents to be legally recognized abroad without going through embassies.
