Document background
The Authorization Letter for Signing Documents is a fundamental legal instrument in Indonesian business and personal affairs, essential when an individual or organization needs to delegate the authority to sign specific documents to another party. This document is particularly relevant when the primary signatory is unavailable or when operational efficiency requires delegation of signing authority. Governed by Indonesian law, particularly the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) and notarial regulations, the letter must include specific elements such as proper identification of parties, clear scope of authority, duration, and appropriate stamp duty (meterai). Common use cases include corporate transactions, property dealings, administrative procedures, and legal proceedings where physical presence of the principal signatory is not possible or practical. The authorization can be general or specific, temporary or ongoing, but must always clearly define the extent of powers granted to ensure legal validity and protect all parties' interests.
