Types of Licenses
For the construction service sector in Indonesia, there are two types of applicable license: TDUP and IUJK. Both licenses have to be issued by relevant authorities through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system.
TDUP
This license is given to individuals, covering the construction service operations.
IUJK
This license is released to National Construction Service Enterprises BUJKN (Badan Usaha Jasa Konstruksi Nasional), covering the construction service operations as well.
Holders of TDUP or IUJK are able to participate in the following activities:
- Construction works
- Construction consultation
- Integrated construction works (applicable for IUJK holders only)
Obtaining TDUP
By possessing a TDUP under the new regulation, TDUP will remain valid permanently for Indonesian individuals, as long as the registered services for TDUP are in operation. The following lays out the process of securing a TDUP:
1. Individuals must register via the OSS system to secure the NIB or Business Identification Numbers.

5. TDUP is only effective when it passes verification and validation, issued by OSS with the approval from DPM PTSP.
