Apostille for Documents in Bali, Indonesia

Apostille services in Bali are available through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia) Bali Regional Office, which issues apostille certificates to legalize Indonesian documents for international use under the Hague Apostille Convention, which has been ratified by Indonesia through Presidential Regulation No. 2 of 2021 concerning the Ratification of the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents.

The process typically requires online registration through the General Legal Administration/Administrasi Hukum Umum (“AHU”) Apostille system, followed by physical submission of the original documents for verification before the certificate can be issued.

However, navigating the government system, preparing the correct documents, and coordinating with the office can be time-consuming. BaliEasy can handle the entire apostille process on your behalf, from application submission and document verification to coordinating the apostille issuance, so you can legalize your documents in Indonesia quickly and without the hassle.

But, please note that the apostille process is only carried out for documents issued by institutions in Indonesia for use outside Indonesia.
