Why Indonesia is different

Records that need local access and local language

Verifying people and companies in Indonesia means working directly with universities, employers, registries and courts, often in Bahasa Indonesia and often in person. Desk research from abroad misses a lot.

VERIS has worked in Indonesia since 2010. Our Jakarta team verifies degrees directly with universities, uses Ministry of Education records as a fallback, confirms employment with HR or the last direct supervisor, and runs local-language integrity and media research.

For companies and partners, strong local networks and on-ground intelligence let us check what a business looks like on the ground, not just on paper.

On the ground since 2010

Our Jakarta team works in Bahasa Indonesia and English from The Bellezza, South Jakarta, and verifies records directly at the source.

  • Signed candidate consent before any check begins.
  • Checks limited to what the role needs.
  • Transparent purpose, explained to the candidate.
  • Screening independent of the hiring decision.
  • Secure handling and tracking in VERISChecks.
  • Reports based on verified, documented findings.
