Changing a PT PMA Director, Address or Capital: Which Filing Applies?

TL;DR

Changing a director, office or capital figure does not always involve the same corporate procedure.

The Facts

Match the filing to the proposed change

Changing a director, office or capital figure does not always involve the same corporate procedure. A PT PMA should first identify the proposed change and compare it with the company's existing articles.

An InvestinAsia guide published on 19 October 2026 prompted this review. It explains an existing framework; it is not an announcement of a new rule taking effect this week.

Three routes in the regulation

Article 8 of Minister of Law Regulation 49/2025 distinguishes specified articles amendments requiring ministerial approval, other articles amendments requiring notification, and changes to corporate data.

The approval categories include the company name, domicile, business purposes and activities, authorised capital, and reduction of issued and paid-up capital. Replacement or reappointment of directors and commissioners, and changes to the complete address, are among the corporate-data categories.

For a move, distinguish a change of registered city or regency from a different street address within the existing domicile. For capital, identify which figure is changing rather than describing every proposal simply as an investment increase. The notary should assess whether the proposal triggers more than one filing.

Different starting events matter

Article 9 establishes separate 30-calendar-day periods. A shareholder resolution not recorded in a notarial meeting deed has a deadline for being stated in a notarial deed. Director and commissioner changes have a notification period measured from the change. Other covered filings have a separate period tied to the notarial deed.

These periods are not interchangeable, and they are not a promise that the whole project will be completed within 30 days. Ask the responsible notary to identify the starting event, deadline and government outcome applicable to the proposal.

Check the result before calling the work complete

Our practical recommendation is to ask for a clear completion checklist before the work begins. The scope should explain which corporate filing will be made and which affected licensing and tax records will also need checking.

Compare the completed deed and government outcome with the change that shareholders approved. Ask the team responsible for OSS and tax administration to confirm the affected records separately. One filing outcome should not be used as a substitute for checking the rest of the work.

For example, a business moving premises can distinguish the corporate amendment from the review of the new operating location. A company appointing a director can distinguish the corporate appointment from any separate assessment of the activities a foreign individual intends to perform.

Questions for the appointment

Bring the current deed, amendment history, relevant government outcomes and a written description of the proposed change to the notary. Ask which documents support the filing, which deadlines apply and which services are included in the engagement.

Bali Zero's recommendation is to agree on the scope and evidence of completion first. That makes it easier to compare quotations and identify unfinished work without assuming that every company change follows the same route.
