A notary for Canggu works under Badung regency. Canggu, Pererenan, Berawa and Umalas all sit in Badung, so land deeds go through the Badung BPN land office and building permits through Badung's licensing office (DPMPTSP). The BaliNotary.com office is in Kerobokan, on Jl. Raya Anyar, a short drive from Canggu, and it handles Badung deeds directly.
Fees: notary and PPAT fees follow the caps set by regulation. See notary fees in Bali.
What do people in Canggu need from a notary?
Villa and land leases. Most villas in Canggu are held on leases with local landowners, often families whose land has been passed down. A lease made as a notarial deed, in Indonesian and English, signed by the right owner or by all the heirs, is what protects you for the full term. See lease agreements.
Checks before a villa deal. Rice field plots near Canggu change hands quickly, and zoning matters: land in a green zone cannot legally take a villa. Property due diligence checks the certificate at Badung BPN, the owner, the zoning and the access road before money moves.
Building and renting out. Many Canggu owners build, extend or rent out villas. The PBG comes before construction and the SLF before guests arrive. See PBG and SLF.
Sale deeds. For a purchase, the PPAT must be licensed for Badung. The principals here hold both the notary and the PPAT appointment. See PPAT and sale deeds.
Companies. Villa management firms, cafés and studios in Canggu often run through a PT PMA, so deeds of establishment, director changes and the AHU annual report come up. See company deeds.
Everyday documents. Certified passport copies, letters of consent, powers of attorney and apostilles for documents going abroad. See notarized documents.
Do I have to come to the office from Canggu?
Message first and say what the matter is. You will be told whether it needs you in person at all. Title checks, contract reviews and much of a company setup can be done while you are away, and for simple documents the notary can come to your villa. If you do come in, Kerobokan is close enough to avoid most of the Canggu traffic.
When is the office open?
Monday to Saturday 8 am to 8 pm, and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm, Bali time. The full address is on the contact page. If your matter is in Seminyak instead, see notary in Seminyak.
