The Online Single Submission System is now Administered by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)

In 2018, the Government issued Government Regulation No. 24 of 2018 on Electronic Integrated Business Licensing Services ("GR No. 24/2018"), which established the Online Single Submission ("OSS") portal.

The licenses and permits that can be granted via the OSS portal include the social security programs (BPJS), location permits, environmental license, building construction permit (IMB) and foreign employees utilization plan (RPTKA). After its establishment, the OSS portal was spearheaded by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs ("CMEA").

The transfer will improve the OSS system in the long run as the BKPM has the technical expertise on investment. The BKPM has already started a working group to analyse the problem arising out of the implementation of OSS system with objectives to issue a new OSS regulation and to update the system periodically.
