Document background
The Articles of Incorporation and Certificate of Incorporation are essential documents required when establishing a new company in Indonesia or converting an existing business into a limited liability company (PT). These documents form the constitutional foundation of the company under Indonesian law, particularly Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies. They contain crucial information about the company's identity, objectives, capital structure, and governance framework. The Articles of Incorporation must be drafted in Indonesian language and executed before a licensed Indonesian notary public, while the Certificate of Incorporation is issued by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights upon successful registration. These documents are necessary for various business activities, including opening bank accounts, obtaining licenses, and entering into contracts.
