Mining Licensing Support in Indonesia

Scope assessment and administrative coordination for Indonesian mining licences under current mineral-and-coal, OSS, spatial, environmental, and technical requirements.

Mining Services or a Mining Project?

For mining contractors, start with the actual service activity and IUJP requirements. For a mining project, start with the commodity, location, area status, applicant, and project stage. These are different workstreams.

Start With the Commodity, Area, Stage, and Applicant

IUP, IUPK, IPR, SIPB, IUJP, transport-and-sales activities, and supporting approvals have different eligibility rules. A company cannot select a licence only from its name or preferred business model.

IUP and IUPK

Review of the commodity, WIUP or WIUPK position, exploration or production-operation stage, corporate eligibility, and the current central or regional process.

  • Applicant and ownership review
  • Area and stage mapping
  • Technical and environmental document list
  • Authority-dependent submission support

IPR and SIPB

Initial assessment of whether the proposed community-mining or rock-mining activity fits the statutory pathway, location, applicant, scale, and commodity requirements.

  • Eligibility screening
  • Location and commodity review
  • Supporting-document coordination
  • No assumption of automatic approval

IUJP and Ongoing Compliance

Coordination for eligible mining-service activities and related OSS records. Operational compliance, safety, technical personnel, RKAB, reporting, and other duties are assessed separately when applicable.

  • Activity and KBLI mapping
  • OSS and sector-document review
  • Reporting-scope coordination
  • Referral to competent technical professionals

Prepare the Scope Before Starting an Application

Provide a brief project summary first. The detailed checklist depends on the pathway reviewed. For mining-service companies, review our IUJP requirements and document readiness guide before assembling the file.

Company & Activity

Applicant or entity status, proposed activity, available NIB and KBLI information, and whether the company provides mining services or intends to operate a mine.

Location & Current Status

Project province or district, commodity where relevant, project stage, current licences, and a summary of available area or supporting-approval records.

Scope & Written Proposal

Confirm the administrative checklist, document gaps, responsible parties, agreed deliverables, fees, and exclusions before filing coordination starts.

What You Receive Within the Agreed Scope

A pathway and document-gap review, coordination of agreed administrative records and review requests, and a handover of the records produced with outstanding actions. Technical studies, environmental work, RKAB preparation, site work, and professional assessments require a separately confirmed scope.

Mining Service Questions

Can you assess an IUJP inquiry?

Share the mining-service activity, company status, available NIB or KBLI information, project location, and current credentials. These details are used to review the applicable administrative pathway.

Can an IUP or SIPB application start from a business idea alone?

An initial discussion can start with a project summary. The application pathway still requires review of the applicant, commodity, location or area position, stage, and supporting records.

How are the fee and timing estimated?

They depend on the reviewed pathway, document readiness, technical work, and the agreed coordination scope. No approval date can be guaranteed before the authority's review.

Does administrative support include every technical approval?

No. The written proposal identifies the included work and any additional authority or technical-professional involvement. Approval and technical assessment remain with the competent bodies.

Approval Depends on the Competent Authority

Indonesia’s mineral-and-coal framework was amended by Law No. 2 of 2025 and Government Regulation No. 39 of 2025. Business-activity standards should also be checked against Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 7 of 2026, current implementing rules, and OSS configuration. Jakarta Legal ID provides administrative coordination and does not issue licences, allocate mining areas, approve RKAB, certify reserves, or guarantee an authority’s decision.

Mining Licensing Guides

Start with the mineral-and-coal licensing overview, compare IUP stages, and review business-activity classification before requesting a scope review.

IUP Exploration vs Operation Production

Compare the purpose and compliance scope of the two principal IUP stages.

KBLI Selection for Indonesian Companies

Understand why business-activity classification should be resolved before the OSS submission.

Mining Licensing Overview

Understand the different IUP, IUJP, SIPB, and ongoing-compliance workstreams before choosing a detailed guide.
