Accessing your OSS login is crucial for managing your business in Indonesia. The Online Single Submission (OSS) system is a centralized platform for obtaining business permits and licenses. 

This article provides clear, easy-to-follow steps to help you access your OSS login portal and navigate the system efficiently.

What is OSS in Indonesia?

As of 2018, the Indonesian government replaced the former One-Stop Services system with the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, aiming to revolutionize business operations in Indonesia.

The OSS online is a newly developed licensing system streamlining business applications.

Initially overseen by the Ministry for Economic Affairs, the OSS system has been managed by the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) since its upgrade in 2019. This new, fully electronic system facilitates easier business operations in Indonesia.

The legal basis for OSS Risk-Based Approach (OSS RBA) is stipulated in Government Regulation (PP) No. 5 of 2021 concerning Risk-Based Business Licensing. 

The new OSS RBA system evaluates business license applications based on the level of risk and the scale of business activities. This differs from the previous OSS RBA 1.1 system, which did not consider the risk and scale of business activities for licensing.

What are the Requirements for Using OSS?

To access the OSS login system, you must fulfill several requirements, such as having an NIK (National Identification Number) and a legitimate business entity. The detailed requirements are as follows:

Obtaining NIK

Ensure you have an NIK and enter it when creating a user ID. For business entities, the required NIK is that of the individual responsible for the business entity.

Business Entity Legalization

Business entities in the form of a PT (Limited Liability Company), business entities established by foundations, cooperatives, CVs (Limited Partnerships), firms, and civil partnerships must complete the process of business entity legalization at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights through AHU Online before accessing OSS.

Business entities, such as public companies, regional public companies, other state-owned legal entities, public service agencies, or broadcasting institutions, must prepare the legal basis for their establishment.
