Illinois Apostille for Indonesia
Indonesia accepts apostilles (since 2022) — no more consular legalization
In short: Indonesia joined the Hague Apostille Convention (in force 4 June 2022), so Illinois documents used in Indonesia now need only an apostille from the Illinois Secretary of State — not the older consular legalization. We apostille Illinois documents for use in Indonesia by mail.
What changed in 2022
Since 4 June 2022, public documents for use in Indonesia are recognized with an apostille instead of Indonesian consular legalization. Many older guides still describe the outdated route.
Common documents & reasons
Degrees for work permits, marriage and birth certificates for family matters, and corporate documents for business.

Passport & visa photos for Indonesia
A visa for Indonesia normally requires a photo to that country's own specification — 4 × 6 cm (40 × 60 mm) — which differs from the standard U.S. 2×2-inch passport photo. Efficient Biometrics takes compliant passport and visa photos to the correct size in the same visit as your Live Scan and apostille, so you don't have to make a second trip. Exact requirements vary by visa type and consulate, so we shoot to the precise spec your application needs. Book passport & visa photos or call 847-436-5222.
