The Directorate General for Legal Administration of the Indonesian Ministry of Justice held a forum
dedicated to international legal cooperation. This was reported by the official information sources of the ministry.
The Apostille Convention will officially enter into force in Indonesia on June 4, 2022. From this date, the parties to the Convention are obliged to waive the requirement of legalization of public documents issued by the Indonesian authorities and accept Apostilles issued by the authorized competent authority of Indonesia.
Indonesia joined the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, which abolishes the requirement for legalization of foreign official documents (the Apostille Convention), becoming its 121st party.
On January 5, 2021, Presidential Decree No. 2 on the ratification of the Hague Convention came into force in Indonesia. It means that the legalization of foreign public documents is no longer necessary.
Almost sixty years after its adoption, Indonesia finally ratified the Hague Convention on the Abolition of the Requirement for Legalization of Foreign Public Documents.
