Minister of Law Regulation No. 24 of 2026: Consolidating Eight Ministerial Regulations into a Unified Framework for Business Entity Services
01. ABOUT THE REGULATION
Minister of Law Regulation Number 24 of 2026 on Services in the Field of Business Entities (“Permenkum 24/2026”) consolidates the rules on legal services for limited liability companies (“Company”), cooperatives, village-owned enterprises, and civil partnerships, firms, and limited partnerships (“Partnerships”) into six substantive books and one book of closing provisions.
02. KEY POINTS TO NOTE
- Data correction by notaries. Notaries need to adjust their data correction procedures to the new basis, namely data in the System. To correct shareholders’ email addresses and phone numbers, notaries must upload (a) a request letter signed by the Board of Directors, (b) a statement of the notary’s responsibility, and (c) a power of attorney from the Board to the notary; documents (b) and (c) must bear sufficient stamp duty; and
- Non-electronic applications for Companies are restricted. Non-electronic applications may only be filed when there is an official regional government announcement of a network disruption or an official Ministerial announcement of a System failure.
03. LEGAL CONSEQUENCES
Permenkum 24/2026 does not contain its own sanctions. The consequences are administrative:
- applications to amend a Company’s articles of association or data are not processed if its taxpayer status is invalid;
- data correction applications with incomplete or inconsistent documents are rejected outright, with no opportunity to complete them; and
- non-electronic filings without a permitted reason risk rejection.
Additional Information: Rejected applications may be resubmitted.
04. OTHER MATTERS
- Practitioners assisting MSMEs should review their fee arrangements because the fixed legal service fee no longer applies.
- Data correction for foundations and associations remains governed by Permenkum 32/2025.
- Copy requests for foundations and associations continue to follow Permenkumham 20/2024.
