Is Indonesia a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Indonesia since 4 June 2022, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Indonesia with no embassy step.
That date matters. Before 4 June 2022, U.S. documents for Indonesia had to go through embassy legalization, and instructions written before then — including some older guides and consulate pages — are now out of date.
The route to Indonesia
A FDA CFG is issued by Food and Drug Administration, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Indonesia, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Indonesia for work permits, marriage, retirement visas. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
