In Bali: a PT PMA cannot register this code
National procedure — does not apply to a PT PMA in Bali
In Bali this activity is reserved for MSMEs; a PT PMA (large enterprise) cannot register it. The national procedure below applies only to non-PMA operators.
Translation and interpretation services — providing written translation, oral interpretation (simultaneous or consecutive), localization, subtitling, and language services across any language pair. This includes general translation, technical translation, legal translation, medical translation, and interpretation for conferences, business meetings, or legal proceedings. Important distinction: **Penerjemah Tersumpah** (sworn translator) is a special designation for legal document translation — if you translate legal documents for official use (court submissions, notarized documents, government filings), you need sworn translator certification, which is separate from general translation business licensing.

Translation services existed in KBLI 2020 under a similar code. KBLI 2025 maintains the classification with clearer distinction between general translation (74300) and the separate professional credential of Penerjemah Tersumpah (sworn translator), which is not a KBLI code but a professional designation.
