Apostille in Balikpapan
Clients in Balikpapan and the wider East Kalimantan area order apostille from us without visiting an office. Send the document as a scan, confirm the written quote, and collect the finished work by email or courier.
Indonesia joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2022. For member countries, one apostille from the Ministry of Law replaces the old chain of Foreign Affairs and embassy stamps. It is faster and cheaper — provided the document underneath it is in a form the ministry will accept.

- Eligibility checked against the destination country before you commit
- Notarisation arranged first when the document requires it

How it works from Balikpapan
Start with a photo or a scan — a phone picture is usually good enough to quote from. We reply with the price, the list of certifications your destination country actually requires, and the delivery date. Originals are collected in Balikpapan by courier only when a wet stamp cannot be avoided.
Common questions
How long does an apostille take?
The ministry step itself is usually a matter of days once the file is correctly prepared. Most of the elapsed time goes on the preparation — translation and notarisation — which is why we check the whole chain first.
Should the translation be apostilled too?
Some authorities want the apostille on the original, some on the translation, some on both. It is set by the receiving institution, so we ask you who requested the document before we decide the order.
Can a foreign document be apostilled in Indonesia?
No. An apostille is issued by the country that produced the document. A foreign document coming into Indonesia is apostilled at home and then translated here by a sworn translator.
