The authorities of the republic have handed over the relevant documents to the depositary of the convention. This was announced during a videoconference by a special commission on the practical application of the convention, which was attended by over 350 delegates from various countries.
The Minister of Justice and Human Rights of Indonesia, Jasonna Laoli, in his address to the participants of the videoconference, emphasized the importance of the Apostille Convention and declared his country's adherence to the basic principles contained in this international instrument.
The decree on the ratification of the convention entered into force in Indonesia on January 5, 2021, but it has not been reported for a long time about when the republic will officially become its member and begin to implement the norms laid down in it.
Formally, it will be possible to apostille documents in Indonesia from June 4, 2022, but it has not yet been announced which specific authority will put the apostille stamp. So far, it is possible to legalize Indonesian documents only by resorting to the consular legalization procedure.
By joining the Apostille Convention, the Indonesian authorities made a reservation that they exclude documents issued by the republic's prosecutor's office from the list of public documents covered by the convention.
