Illinois Apostille for Indonesia
Indonesia accepts apostilles (since 2022) — no more consular legalization
In short: Indonesia joined the Hague Apostille Convention (in force 4 June 2022), so Illinois documents used in Indonesia now need only an apostille from the Illinois Secretary of State — not the older consular legalization. We apostille Illinois documents for use in Indonesia by mail.
What changed in 2022
Since 4 June 2022, public documents for use in Indonesia are recognized with an apostille instead of Indonesian consular legalization. Many older guides still describe the outdated route.
Common documents & reasons
Degrees for work permits, marriage and birth certificates for family matters, and corporate documents for business.
