KBLI 2025: What Has Changed and How to Migrate Your OSS Business Code

For those of you running a business in Indonesia, accurate business legality is the primary foundation for smooth operations. Entering 2026, the business world in the country faces a highly crucial regulatory update regarding business classification. The government has officially enacted KBLI 2025 as the new standard reference for economic sectors.

The urgency of this update cannot be ignored by business actors, whether MSMEs or large corporations. In fact, the system integration deadline set by the government has passed. If you have not yet made the adjustments, your business activities and licensing in the OSS (Online Single Submission) system are at risk of administrative obstacles.

What are the details of this latest regulation, and what concrete steps should you take now? Check out the complete guide to the KBLI 2025 changes and how to migrate from the KBLI 2020 codes below.

What Is KBLI 2025 and Why Is It Replacing KBLI 2020?

The Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) is a standard guideline used to classify Indonesia's economic activities into various business fields. This code serves as the basis for issuing the Business Identification Number (NIB) and other operational permits on the OSS RBA platform.

The implementation of this new standard has a strong and binding legal foundation. KBLI 2025 was officially established through the Regulation of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) No. 7 of 2025, which was enacted on December 18, 2025. This latest regulation comes to replace the validity of KBLI 2020, which is considered no longer relevant to the current dynamics of the industry.

Reasons Behind the KBLI Standard Change

The government did not update this classification code without reason. Below are several key factors that drove the birth of the latest classification code:

  • Accommodating Digital Industry Modifications: The emergence of new business models, artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and blockchain ecosystems that had not been specifically accommodated in 2020.
  • Synchronization with International Standards: Aligning domestic economic activity classifications with globally applicable international standards (International Standard Industrial Classification / ISIC).
  • Simplification of Licensing Bureaucracy: Assisting the Online Single Submission (OSS) system in mapping business risk levels more accurately and comprehensively.

Key Points of KBLI 2025 Changes That Business Owners Must Know

The shift from the 2020 version to the 2025 version brings many structural changes to codes across various sectors. For existing business owners, rechecking the five‑digit code on your NIB is now mandatory.

  1. Reclassification and Splitting of Business Sector Codes
    In KBLI 2025, many business codes have undergone splitting into more specific categories, or have been merged. For example, the e-commerce trade sector, information technology services, and the creative industry now have new sub-categories that distinguish between platform providers, content creators, and technical infrastructure providers.
  2. Adjustment of Business Risk Levels (OSS RBA)
    Changes to the code automatically affect the risk level assessment (Low, Medium-Low, Medium-High, or High) in the OSS system. If your business code changes, the requirements for secondary documents such as Standard Certificates or environmental permits (AMDAL/UKL-UPL) may also change.
    Important Warning: The deadline for ministries, agencies, and the OSS & AHU systems to fully transition to using KBLI 2025 was no later than June 18, 2026. Since this deadline has now passed, business accounts that have not yet migrated may face temporary suspension status or rejection when applying for new permits.

Impacts If Your Business Is Late in Migrating KBLI

Delaying adjustments to your company's legal entity code can trigger various domino effects that harm your business operations. Below are some real impacts that frequently occur in the field:

  • Obstacles in AHU and OSS System Integration
    The General Legal Administration System (AHU) at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the OSS system under BKPM are now fully integrated using the KBLI 2025 database. If your company's Articles of Association (AD) data in AHU still contains the old version codes, you will not be able to synchronize data or update your NIB on the OSS platform.
  • Constraints in Tender and Partnership Processes
    For companies that frequently participate in government or private procurement tenders, the validity of the NIB is non-negotiable. Mismatches between your business code and the latest BPS regulations will immediately disqualify your company during the administrative selection stage.

How to Migrate from KBLI 2020 to KBLI 2025 in the OSS System

This transition process requires precision to avoid altering the main legal structure that has already been established. In general, there are two migration paths depending on your business entity type:

[Check New Code Suitability] ➔ [Revise Articles of Association in AHU (If PT)] ➔ [Update Data in OSS System] ➔ [Print New NIB]

Step 1: Identify and Check Code Suitability

The first step is mapping. You must match your old KBLI 2020 code with the official conversion draft published by BPS to find the corresponding code in the 2025 version.

Step 2: Adjustment of Articles of Association (Specifically for PT and CV)

If your business is a Limited Liability Company (PT), this change must go through a General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) or a Shareholders' Circular Resolution mechanism. A notary will register the amendment to the Articles of Association into the AHU system at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to obtain a decree (SK) of the change.

Step 3: Data Update on the OSS Portal

Once the data in the AHU system has been updated, the next step is to log in to your company's OSS RBA account:

  1. Log in to the business licensing submission page.
  2. Select the option for business data development or change.
  3. Pull the latest data from AHU or manually enter the new KBLI 2025 code (for individual businesses).
  4. Re‑complete the parameters for working capital, activity description, and number of employees.
  5. Click save and issue the updated NIB (Business Identification Number).

If you find this bureaucratic process confusing or do not have the time to handle it yourself, you can use professional assistance through OSS NIB management services to ensure the legal transition runs quickly and free from data input errors.

Handling the migration independently often takes a lot of time due to systematic errors or a lack of understanding in reading the code conversion matrix from BPS. Choosing the wrong code leads to incorrect business risk mapping, which in turn results in additional costs for unnecessary permits.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About KBLI 2025 Changes

Does every type of business have to change their KBLI code?
Not all, but the majority of sectors have undergone adjustments. You must check whether the 5‑digit code on your old NIB has been split, merged, or had its description changed under BPS Regulation No. 7 of 2025.

What is the main difference between KBLI 2020 and the 2025 version?
The main differences lie in the depth of classification, the addition of hundreds of new codes to accommodate modern technology and digitalization industries, and the realignment of business risk levels in the OSS system.

How long does the KBLI code migration process in OSS take?
If supporting documents such as the AHU Amendment Deed are ready, the data update process in the OSS RBA portal can generally be completed within 1 to 3 working days, depending on the central system's performance.

What if I do not migrate even though the deadline has passed?
Consequences include system rejection when applying for new operational permits, obstacles in tax data synchronization (NPWP), and potential invalidity of legal documents during tender verification or bank funding applications.
