UKBI, and the seven levels
Indonesia's national Indonesian proficiency test is the UKBI — Uji Kemahiran Berbahasa Indonesia — administered by the language development agency, which reports a score and a level on a seven-band scale from Terbatas up to Istimewa.
The band names are Indonesian words rather than numbers or CEFR levels, and a US reader cannot rank them. We give the band name, its position in the seven and the score.
It applies to Indonesians too
UKBI is not only for foreigners. It is used to assess Indonesian nationals — teachers, civil servants, journalists — and a result may appear in a domestic employment file rather than an immigration one.
So an Indonesian holding a UKBI certificate is not necessarily a foreign learner, and we do not imply otherwise.
BIPA, and the courses for foreigners
BIPA — Indonesian for Foreign Speakers — is the programme framework under which universities and centres teach and certify foreign learners, issuing completion certificates at course levels.
A BIPA course certificate and a UKBI result are different documents with different weight. We name which the client has.
Malay, and the single names
Indonesian and Malay are closely related and mutually intelligible in large part, and a certificate in one is not a certificate in the other. We name the language and the issuing country.
Many Indonesians have a single legal name, which a certificate reproduces as it is. See our Indonesian page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
Frequently asked questions
What is UKBI?
The national Indonesian proficiency test, reporting a score and a band on a seven-level scale with Indonesian band names.
Is UKBI only for foreigners?
No. It assesses Indonesian nationals too, and a result may appear in a domestic employment file.
What is BIPA?
The framework for teaching Indonesian to foreign speakers. A course certificate is a different document from a UKBI result.
Is it the same as Malay?
Closely related and not the same. A certificate in one is not a certificate in the other.
