Implementation of the 2025 Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (‘KBLI 2025’) in the Business Licensing System

By Saka Wibisono & Partners  |  April 2, 2026

The Government of the Republic of Indonesia has issued a Joint Circular Letter (SEB) of the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, the Minister of Law, and the Head of the Central Bureau of Statistics. These regulations, Number 4.S/Year 2026, Number M.HH-1.HH.04.02/Year 2026, and Number 1/Year 2026, govern the Implementation of the Adjustment of the 2025 Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (“KBLI 2025”) in the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing. This SEB was stipulated in Jakarta on March 25, 2026.

This regulation was issued to provide technical operational guidance for all stakeholders regarding the procedures for adjusting KBLI codes within the Online Single Submission (“OSS”) System and the Directorate General of Legal Administrative Affairs (“Ditjen AHU”) System.

Key Points for Business Actors

The following is a summary of important provisions that you need to note regarding the company’s business activities:

Current Licensing Status Remains Valid:

All Basic Requirements (PD), Business Licensing (PB), and/or Business Licensing to Support Business Activities (PB UMKU) belonging to the company that have been issued, verified, or approved prior to the implementation of KBLI 2025, are declared to remain valid.

 

Conditions Requiring Amendment of the Articles of Association:

  • Business actors registered in the Ditjen AHU System must carry out KBLI 2025 adjustments through an amendment of the Articles of Association if there is a corporate action.
  • The corporate action referred to is an action that changes the company’s Purposes and Objectives, as well as changes to business activities over existing business activities.

 

Conditions Requiring Amendment of the Articles of Association:

  • Business actors registered in the Ditjen AHU System must carry out KBLI 2025 adjustments through an amendment of the Articles of Association if there is a corporate action.
  • The corporate action referred to is an action that changes the company’s Purposes and Objectives, as well as changes to business activities over existing business activities.
  • If the business scope affected by the KBLI change is not yet listed in the deed, business actors are required to make adjustments in the deed first.

 

Conditions for Automatic KBLI Adjustment

  • KBLI 2025 adjustment is not required if the change is only in the form of numerical code adjustments based on the conversion table.
  • This provision applies provided that the adjustment does not result in a change to the substance of the purposes and objectives as well as the scope of business activities already listed in the Articles of Association.
  • Under this condition, the adjustment will be carried out automatically through the Ditjen AHU System and the OSS System without requiring an amendment to the company’s Articles of Association.
  • The recording of purposes and objectives in the deed on the Ditjen AHU system does not need to be adjusted as long as there are no changes or additions to existing business activities.
  • Scope adjustments based on the conversion table only change the KBLI code and will continue to follow the purposes and objectives stated in the deed.

 

Transition Period and System Deadlines

  • KBLI 2025 adjustment in the OSS System and the Ditjen AHU System will be carried out by the relevant agencies no later than June 18, 2026.
  • Before the adjustment is implemented, the Ditjen AHU System will continue to process the legalization of business actors using the 2020 KBLI.
  • Similarly, the OSS System will still process business licensing using the 2020 KBLI until the adjustment is implemented.

Conclusion

Companies do not need to worry about the validity of the licenses currently held by the company, as these licenses are ensured to remain valid.

We recommend that the Company do the following:

  • If in the future the company plans a corporate action that changes business activities, adjusting to KBLI 2025 through a deed amendment will become a mandatory procedure.
  • Discuss with professionals or the internal legal team to ensure whether the KBLI 2025 adjustment is required through an amendment of the Articles of Association or is not necessary.
