Deed of Change and Share Transfer Assistance

Company Registration & Legal Services

In Indonesia, any modification to a company’s legal structure must be formalized through a Deed of Change or Deed of Share Transfer. These documents must be drafted by a licensed Notary and approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MOLHR). 

If your corporate records are not legally updated, your company risks compliance violations, licensing delays, investment restrictions, and disputes over authority or ownership. 

What Is a Deed of Change and who is it for

A Deed of Change (Akta Perubahan) is a notarial document used to update or amend a company’s legal profile. This may include changes to: 

  • Company name 
  • Registered address 
  • KBLI/business activities 
  • Directors & commissioners 
  • Share composition 
  • Articles of Association 

A Deed of Change is only legally valid after receiving MOLHR approval and being updated in OSS RBA. 

Who Needs a Deed of Change?

You must process a Deed of Change if your company undergoes: 

1. Structural Changes

Applicable to PT, PT PMA, PT PMDN, or Representative Offices updating any legal company data. 

2. Share Transfers & Ownership Changes

Any transfer of shares, partial or full must be notarized and reported to MOLHR and OSS. 

3. KBLI / Business Activity Updates

Adding or removing activities, or changing business categories. 

4. Management Changes

Appointments, resignations, or replacements of directors/commissioners. 

5. Change of Registered Address

Especially when moving across districts or cities. 

6. Licensing & Regulatory Alignment

Many industries require the company’s structure to be updated before applying for specific licenses. 

Benefits of Completing a Deed of Change & Share Transfer

All amendments are officially recognized by MOLHR and government systems. 

2. Protects Corporate Integrity

Reduces risks of ownership disputes, authority conflicts, and internal misunderstandings. 

3. Keeps Government Records Accurate

4. Builds Trust with Stakeholders

Updated legal data increases transparency with banks, partners, investors, and regulators. 

5. Supports Business Growth

New KBLIs, ownership restructuring, or management updates enable expansion and new licensing. 

6. Valid Share Ownership Recognition

Your share transfer is officially documented and traceable. 

7. Avoids Penalties & Licensing Issues

Ensures smooth audits, licensing applications, and corporate operations. 

Share Transfer in Indonesia (for Share Below 50%)

A Share Transfer below 50% involves transferring a portion of company ownership to new or existing shareholders without changing majority control. 

Even if minority shares are transferred, Indonesian regulations still require: 

  • Notarial Share Transfer Deed 
  • Shareholder approvals 
  • Updated shareholder registry 
  • MOLHR reporting 
  • OSS data synchronization 

From drafting resolutions to finalizing government approvals, Lets Move Indonesia ensures every step is handled correctly.
