Many businesses are now also considering copyright as an important business asset. That is why many people are asking: how much does <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jasamerek.com\/blog\/jasa-pendaftaran-hak-cipta\/\">copyright registration<\/a><\/strong> cost in Indonesia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, copyright registration fees in Indonesia are not as expensive as many people might think. Although the fees can vary depending on the type of copyright application you submit to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), the overall cost remains relatively affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But exactly how much does copyright registration cost?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s find out more about copyright registration fees in Indonesia in the following article!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"introduction-to-copyright-fees\"><strong>Introduction to Copyright Fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before discussing copyright registration fees, let&#8217;s first briefly examine the fundamental concept of copyright itself. This will make it easier to understand the copyright registration fees discussed in the following sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what exactly is copyright?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copyright is one form of intellectual property. Intellectual property refers to the results of human intellectual creativity or ideas that are expressed in various forms. One of these forms is copyright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what does copyright actually mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The definition of copyright can be found in Indonesia&#8217;s 2014 Copyright Law. In essence, copyright is an exclusive right that arises automatically when a creative work created by an author has been expressed in a tangible form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key point to understand here is that copyright only protects creations that have been expressed in a concrete or tangible form. Ideas or concepts alone cannot be protected by copyright under the current regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copyright can cover a wide variety of works. In general, however, people understand copyright as protection for creative works such as literature, art, science, and similar creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, when you want to register protection for your creative work, it is important not only to understand copyright registration fees but also to determine whether your work falls within the categories eligible for copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it does, you can register the work for copyright protection. Conversely, if it does not qualify, the work cannot be registered as copyright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-copyright-registration-cost\"><strong>How Much Does Copyright Registration Cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions such as &#8220;How much does copyright registration for a book cost?&#8221; or &#8220;How much does copyright registration for a song cost?&#8221; may be familiar, especially among people working in the arts and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions are understandable because, for artists and writers, protecting their creative works is one of the most important things they need to consider. This is particularly relevant given the many copyright-related cases involving singers and songwriters in Indonesia in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such cases have further increased awareness of the importance of copyright protection for creative works. Therefore, after understanding which types of creations are eligible for copyright protection, it is also important to understand the copyright registration fees when registering those works with DJKI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how much does copyright registration cost in Indonesia, particularly at present?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the official DJKI website, copyright registration fees in Indonesia are classified as <strong>PNBP (Non-Tax State Revenue)<\/strong>. The applicable regulations are stipulated under <strong>Government Regulation No. 45 of 2024 (PP 45\/2024)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under this regulation, one category included in PNBP is revenue from intellectual property services. This includes fees for copyright registration because copyright is part of intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how much are the fees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still referring to the PNBP regulations, and as further detailed on the official DJKI website, there are at least <strong>11 different fees related to copyright registration<\/strong> at DJKI. The details of these fees are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Copyright PNBP<\/th><th>Unit<\/th><th>Rate (IDR)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Application for the Recording of Works and\/or Related Rights Products<\/td><td>per application<\/td><td>200,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for the Transfer of Rights to Recorded Works and\/or Related Rights Products Listed in the General Register of Works<\/td><td>per registration number<\/td><td>200,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for Changes to the Name and Address of the Author and\/or Related Rights Holder Recorded in the General Register of Works<\/td><td>per registration number<\/td><td>150,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for an Extract of Each Recording of Works and\/or Related Rights Products Recorded in the General Register of Works<\/td><td>per registration number<\/td><td>150,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for a Copy of the Recording Certificate for Works and\/or Related Rights Products<\/td><td>per registration number<\/td><td>150,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Recording of Licenses for Works and\/or Related Rights Products<\/td><td>per application<\/td><td>200,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for a Written Statement Regarding Works and\/or Related Rights Products Recorded in the General Register of Works<\/td><td>per application<\/td><td>150,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for Correction of Data in a Work Recording Application and\/or Related Rights Product Due to Applicant Error<\/td><td>per copyright application<\/td><td>150,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for Correction of a Recording Certificate for Works and\/or Related Rights Products Due to Applicant Error<\/td><td>per registration number<\/td><td>150,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for the Issuance of an Operational License for Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) for Authors and\/or Related Rights in Music and Songs<\/td><td>per application<\/td><td>10,000,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Application for the Issuance of an Operational License for Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) Other Than Music and Songs<\/td><td>per application<\/td><td>5,000,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(Source: Copyright Registration Fees from the official DGIP website)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Fees are subject to change at any time. The prices stated above are based on the information available on the DGIP website at the time this article was prepared and may not reflect the latest applicable fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the information shown above, if you wish to record your copyrighted work in Indonesia, the official fee for a new copyright recordation application is <strong>IDR 200,000 (two hundred thousand Indonesian rupiah)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you have already recorded your copyright and need to make changes to the registered information, the applicable fee is <strong>IDR 150,000 (one hundred and fifty thousand Indonesian rupiah)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the information above, there is no separate fee structure based on the type of copyrighted work being recorded. This means that the recordation fee for artistic works\u2014such as songs\u2014and literary works\u2014such as books\u2014is generally the same, at <strong>IDR 200,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about the cost for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, neither the applicable Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) regulations nor the official website of the <strong>Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP)<\/strong> specifies a special copyright recordation fee for MSMEs. Therefore, based on the available information, the applicable fee for both MSMEs and non-MSMEs is <strong>IDR 200,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering that the fee is relatively affordable, this should encourage creators to begin formally recording their copyrights and strengthening the legal protection of their creative works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"start-protecting-your-creative-works-today\"><strong>Start Protecting Your Creative Works Today!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the information discussed above, copyright recordation fees in Indonesia are relatively affordable.
