The Investment Board One-Stop Service, or Dinas Penanaman Modal Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu (DPMPTSP) in Indonesia is something you should know if you want to start a legal entity or expand your business in Indonesia. Presidential Regulation 97/2014 is the official regulation governing the DPMPTSP.

DPMPTSP and the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)’s one-stop service both serve different purposes.

According to Presidential Regulation 97/2014, DPMPTSP is in charge of the investment service in each Indonesian city or regency while the BKPM coordinates the investment registration in Jakarta by the central government.

Therefore, for a business registration in a city or a region in Indonesia, you just have to register your business at DPMPTSP in your area without going to the BKPM in Jakarta.

The DPMPTSP includes all necessary business registration services governed by the regional government as well as the central government.

This article intends to provide you with more information about DPMPTSP and how you can register your business to DPMPTSP in your region.

Things You can Register at DPMPTSP

Business activities and permissions that can be registered at DPMPTSP include the following:

  • Business activities
  • Building functions’ feasibility
  • Individual actions
  • Permissions of space
  • Business licenses
  • Other licenses and practices

How to Register to DPMPTSP

You can register your business and permissions at the counter of your city’s or provincial DPMPTSP. If you are in Jakarta, you can do the registration through the DKI Jakarta’s online system at https://pelayanan.jakarta.go.id.

Otherwise, you can do so by calling them via 1500-164, or using the DKI’s android application. With the online system, you will be able to check the status of your permission conveniently without heading to the office physically.

As for regional or city’s DPMPTSP, it poses some challenges for you to register your business as they are often located far from the center. Also, they don’t have an online system and that means you need to go through the process with manual paperwork at their offices.

Therefore, the Indonesian government tries to solve this issue through the use of Online Single Submission (OSS) system governed under the Government Regulation 24/2018.

The OSS system, which is connected to the Ministry of Law’s Legal System Administration or Sistem Administrasi Badan Hukum (SABH), allows business entities or individuals to obtain a single business number via the online system without much hassle.

However, only certain business activities and permissions can be registered via OSS system and the rest still has to be done manually.

Permissions that are not possible to be conducted through the OSS system include the company’s business activities and building functions’ feasibility.

Therefore, it is very important to understand the following before you proceed with your registration at DPMPTSP:

  • Know the location of your provincial or city’s DPMPTSP
  • Enquire about the detailed requirements of your registration and what sort of documents you should prepare and submit

 

If you still have doubts about the DPMPTSP’s location or the requirements, you can seek professional assistance from Cekindo.
