Foreigners cannot own, so they lease
Foreign nationals cannot hold freehold title (hak milik) to Indonesian land, so long leasehold arrangements — hak sewa and the right to use — substitute, frequently for decades with renewal options.
An unusually long Indonesian lease in a foreign national's file is therefore a substitute for ownership rather than an oddity, and we translate the term structure and renewal clauses carefully because they are the whole value.
The nominee arrangement, and what it looks like
Because of the ownership restriction, arrangements using an Indonesian nominee holder with side agreements have been common, and those side documents appear in files.
They are what they say they are and we translate them exactly, naming each instrument. Whether such an arrangement is effective is a question for Indonesian counsel, not for a translation.
Notarial deeds, and the PPAT
Land transactions and long leases are executed before a notary who is also a PPAT — a land deed official — and the deed carries a number and the official's appointment details.
A US reader seeing a notarial deed rather than a signed contract is looking at the Indonesian form. We name the notary and the deed number.
Rupiah, and the single names
Amounts are in rupiah with very large figures, and Indonesian numbers write a point for thousands and a comma for decimals. We convert the notation and state the order of magnitude.
Many Indonesians have a single legal name, and a deed reproduces it 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.
