  • Indonesia’s Directorate General of General Legal Administration expanded public education at a legal services festival in Bandung through six talk-show sessions.

  • Topics included fiduciary security for intellectual property, removal of security after obligations are completed, and limited-company reporting and classification requirements.

Residents and business owners came to Bandung’s 2026 Impact AHU Services Festival looking for practical answers to legal administration problems.

After opening consultation services on the first day, Indonesia’s Directorate General of General Legal Administration added six talk-show sessions to explain the services available. The event drew strong interest, with some visitors seeking information and others using the services to handle the legality of their business entities.

Director General of General Legal Administration Widodo said public needs differed widely, making clear information an important part of the service. He said digital transformation would have greater value when people understood the services available and could use them appropriately.

“We do not only provide services, but also continue to provide education so that people can more easily obtain legal certainty,” Widodo said.

One session focused on fiduciary security, including registration linked to intellectual property rights and the importance of removing the security once an obligation has been fulfilled. Other guidance covered limited companies, annual reports, Indonesia’s standard business-field classification and the status of inactive companies.

We do not only provide services, but also continue to provide education so that people can more easily obtain legal certainty.
