For a notary in Uluwatu, Jimbaran or elsewhere on the Bukit, the work is handled from the Kerobokan office. Jimbaran lies in the Kuta Selatan district of Badung regency, and Uluwatu, the rest of the Bukit and Nusa Dua also fall under Badung and the Badung land office. The Kerobokan office handles Badung deeds directly, so the notary or PPAT who signs is licensed for the area your land is in.
Fees: notary and PPAT fees are capped by regulation and quoted before work starts. See notary fees in Bali.
What do people on the Bukit ask a notary for?
Leases. A villa or land lease is made by notarial deed, in Bahasa Indonesia and English. A notarized lease is far stronger evidence than an under-hand lease. Read villa and land lease agreements before you agree on a term.
Land and villa purchases. The sale deed is made by a PPAT. Before that comes a check of the certificate at the land office. See PPAT and sale deeds and property due diligence.
Powers of attorney. If you cannot be in Bali for the signing, a power of attorney lets someone you trust sign for you.
Company deeds. Villa and hospitality businesses can run through a PT or PT PMA. See company deeds.
Everyday documents. Certified passport copies, affidavits and letters of consent. See notarized documents. For simple documents a mobile notary can visit you.
Why does the PPAT's area matter in Uluwatu and Jimbaran?
Notaries and PPAT officials are appointed to a specific area, usually a regency or city. A PPAT drawing a land deed must be licensed in the regency where the land sits. A deed made outside the appointment is rejected by the land office. For Bukit land that means a Badung PPAT.
What do I need to build on the Bukit?
A new villa or a renovation needs a PBG before work starts and an SLF before use. Applications go through the Badung one-stop licensing office. The permit steps are on PBG and SLF in Bali.
Is the service in English?
Every deed is explained to you in English. When a foreigner signs, a bilingual version is prepared.
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. For villa areas further north, see notary in Canggu.
