A name change needs an order from the District Court (Pengadilan Negeri) where you live, and must be reported to Dukcapil within 30 days of receiving the order (Law 23/2006 Article 52); Dukcapil adds a margin note to the certificate free of charge. The passport is then replaced, with approval from the Director General of Immigration (Immigration Regulation 11/2026), and the driving licence and bank records are updated. ## What you need to change your name on Indonesian documents - Existing identity documents and evidence of the correct name. - Court or competent-authority decision if there has been a legal name change. ## How to change your name on Indonesian documents 1. **Identify the issue.** Decide whether the issue is a typo, spelling variation, added name or legal name change. 2. **Correct population records.** For a name change, obtain a District Court order, then report it to the Dukcapil office that issued the certificate within 30 days with form F-2.01, a copy of the order, the certificate extract and a copy of the KK. Make sure the KK and KTP-el are updated before asking other agencies to change records. 3. **Contact Immigration.** Apply for a replacement passport at an Immigration office with your KTP-el, KK, birth certificate, marriage book or diploma, and the old passport, all showing the same data; identity changes need approval from the office head and the Director General of Immigration. 4. **Align licence and other records.** Check the data-change route at Satpas and your bank; avoid using mismatched passport data in visa applications. ## How much it costs to change your name on Indonesian documents Dukcapil charges nothing for the margin note or population documents (Law 24/2013 Article 79A). The court order costs whatever the local court sets as the case deposit. A passport name change is handled as a replacement; Government Regulation 45/2024 has no separate data-change fee, so the normal passport fee applies. Driving-licence fees depend on the type of issue. ## Order prevents mismatches Ticket, visa, passport and identity names must align under destination rules. Do not assume an overseas marriage certificate alone updates all identity records; ask each issuer what evidence it accepts. - [Dukcapil: persyaratan perubahan nama](https://dukcapil.kemendagri.go.id/page/read/perubahan-nama) - [Imigrasi Juanda: perubahan data paspor](https://juanda.imigrasi.go.id/perubahan-data-paspor/) ## Things to check carefully - Replacing an ID photo is separate from changing a name. - Keep old and new documents to explain identity history. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a passport name change charged? Since Immigration Regulation 11/2026, a change of name, place or date of birth, or sex is handled as a passport replacement approved by the Director General of Immigration, so the normal passport fee applies. Older pages saying the change is free on the endorsement page refer to revoked rules. ### How long do I have to report a name change to Dukcapil? Within 30 days of receiving the court order (Law 23/2006 Article 52). Bring form F-2.01, a copy of the order, the certificate extract and a copy of the KK; the original order is only shown. Dukcapil adds the margin note free of charge. ## Official sources 1. [Dukcapil: persyaratan perubahan nama](https://dukcapil.kemendagri.go.id/page/read/perubahan-nama) (accessed 2026-10-01) 2.
