⚠Regulatory Alert
2020 → 2025

Translation services existed in KBLI 2020 under a similar code. KBLI 2025 maintains the classification with clearer distinction between general translation (74300) and the separate professional credential of Penerjemah Tersumpah (sworn translator), which is not a KBLI code but a professional designation.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a translation & interpretation business in Indonesia?
Nationally yes — but NOT in Bali. KBLI 74300 (Aktivitas Penerjemah atau Interpreter) is TERBUKA (100% foreign ownership) at the national level, but in Bali it is blocked for a PT PMA under the 13 May 2026 moratorium. OSS risk at scale Besar is Rendah/Menengah-Rendah on every scope → blocked by Bali moratorium 13 May 2026 Outside Bali it is open to a PT PMA with no local partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 74300?
KBLI 74300 has a Rendah risk classification. Required license: NIB. Processing time: Otomatis.
What is KBLI 74300?
KBLI 74300 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Aktivitas Penerjemah atau Interpreter" (Translation & Interpretation). It falls under Section M of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 74300 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 74300 was mapped from previous codes 74322, 74321 (KBLI 2020). Multiple 2020 codes were merged into this single 2025 code. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.

Context74300
Translation agency in Bali? 74300 is the code. Low risk, NIB auto-issued (Otomatis) across all scales. The key distinction: Penerjemah Tersumpah (sworn translator) is a separate professional credential, not a business license — foreign nationals can't become sworn translators, so you'll need to employ certified Indonesians for legal document translation. Let me explain the setup.
