The Facts
Indonesia's Ministry of Law formally enacted Ministerial Regulation Number 14 of 2026 (Permenkum 14/2026), titled 'Procedures for Announcing Limited Liability Companies in the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia and the Supplement to the State Gazette, and Announcing Foundations in the Supplement to the State Gazette.' The regulation entered into force on August 20, 2026.
The new rule supersedes two legacy regulations from 2010: Permenkumham No. M.HH-01.AH.01.01 Year 2010, which governed foundation announcements in the Supplement to the State Gazette, and Permenkumham No. M.HH-02.AH.01.01 Year 2010, which governed PT announcements in both the State Gazette and its Supplement. These frameworks, in place for over 15 years, have been fully revoked with no stated transition or grace period.
Under Permenkum 14/2026, the entirety of the announcement process for both limited liability companies (perseroan terbatas, PT) and foundations (yayasan) must be conducted electronically through Indonesia's Legal Entity Administration System, known by its Indonesian acronym SABH (Sistem Administrasi Badan Hukum). The system is operated by the Directorate General of General Legal Administration within the Ministry of Law. Announcement data is now automatically integrated into a centralised government database at the point of filing, eliminating the separate, sequential processing that previously existed between registration and publication steps.
The regulation introduces a key procedural obligation for notaries and liquidators: they are required to submit electronic announcement requests simultaneously with the submission of legal entity registration applications. This concurrent filing requirement represents a structural departure from prior practice, in which announcement was often handled as a discrete downstream step. The integrated SABH workflow applies across all major corporate lifecycle events, including initial company incorporation, amendments to articles of association, and formal ratification of foundations.
The regulation also restructures the handling of physical documentation. Previously, the Directorate General of General Legal Administration was responsible for printing and physically delivering copies of the Supplement to the State Gazette (Tambahan Berita Negara) to applicants. The new regulation modifies these obligations, signalling a shift toward digital-primary record-keeping, though the complete details of the new physical document arrangements were not fully available in the published text. The reform aligns with Indonesia's broader digital public administration drive, which has accelerated across multiple ministries throughout the 2020s.

utes or due diligence processes.
The practical risk lies in transition-period friction. SABH has historically performed unevenly across different notary offices and regional administrations in Indonesia. Notaries not yet calibrated to the new concurrent filing requirement may inadvertently delay announcements, which in turn delays legal recognition of corporate actions. For PT PMAs mid-amendment — common when foreign shareholder composition changes or business scope expands — any SABH processing lag has downstream consequences for OSS licensing and bank account records.
The break from the 2010-era rules is clean and immediate, not graduated. Clients should not assume their existing notary has automatically updated workflows. A brief verification conversation before initiating any corporate action is now essential due diligence, not optional.
