A notary for Ubud has to think about Gianyar. Ubud and the villages around it sit in Gianyar regency, which has its own BPN land office and its own licensing office (DPMPTSP) for building permits, separate from Badung. That matters most for land: a PPAT is appointed for a specific area, and a land deed for Ubud must be made by a PPAT licensed for Gianyar. A deed drawn by someone acting outside their appointment is rejected by the land office.
Fees: the notary and PPAT caps are the same across Bali. See notary fees in Bali.
How does the Kerobokan office handle Ubud matters?
The office is in Kerobokan, in Badung. For Ubud land deeds it coordinates with Gianyar counterparts, so the deed is made by a PPAT with the right appointment while you deal with one team in English. Documents that are not land deeds, such as powers of attorney, company deeds, wills and certified copies, can be made by the notary whatever village you live in.
What do Ubud clients usually need?
Land and lease checks. Rice terraces and village land around Ubud are often family land, sometimes inherited and sometimes customary. Every heir with a share may need to consent to a lease or sale. Zoning matters too, since much of the land is agricultural. Property due diligence checks all of this at the Gianyar land office.
Leases. A long-term lease on a house or plot near Ubud, made as a notarial deed in Indonesian and English. See lease agreements.
Sale deeds. For a purchase, the AJB is signed before a Gianyar PPAT and registered at the Gianyar land office. See PPAT and sale deeds.
Building permits. For a house or guesthouse in Ubud, the PBG and SLF go through Gianyar's licensing office. See PBG and SLF.
Retirees and families. Wills, prenups and powers of attorney for people who live in Ubud part of the year. See wills and power of attorney.
Can I avoid the drive from Ubud?
The drive from Ubud to Kerobokan can be long. Message first and say what the matter is; you will be told whether it needs you in person. Certificate checks, contract reviews and drafting happen without you, signing can be arranged in Ubud, and a power of attorney can cover steps you cannot attend.
When is the office open?
Monday to Saturday 8 am to 8 pm, and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm, Bali time. For Sanur and the city, see notary in Denpasar.
