Approved foreign halal certification bodies in Indonesia
If your product already holds a halal certificate from a body that BPJPH recognizes, you do not re-certify in Indonesia. You register the existing certificate through the SHLN route, which is far faster than the full process. The catch is that recognition is granted body by body, and category by category.
Recognized certificate, no re-certification
Under the Halal Product Assurance Law and Government Regulation 42/2024, every product imported into Indonesia has to be halal certified. A product certified abroad does not have to repeat that process if its certifier is a foreign halal certification body, an LHLN, that holds a mutual recognition agreement with BPJPH.
Recognition removes the audit, not the paperwork. You still register the foreign certificate with BPJPH before the product reaches the market, through the foreign halal certificate registration route known as SHLN. That registration is governed by BPJPH Decree 221/2025, which replaced the earlier Decree 90/2023 and took effect on 15 December 2025.
The recognized list currently runs to 114 institutions across dozens of countries, from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union to China, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and the Gulf.

Recognition is per product category
Each agreement is concluded for specific product types, such as food, beverages, cosmetics, drugs, or chemical products. A body recognized for food is not automatically recognized for cosmetics. Before you plan around the SHLN route, confirm two things: that your certifier holds an agreement with BPJPH, and that the agreement covers the category your product falls under.
Where the category is not covered, or your certifier has no agreement at all, the product takes the full certification route instead, with an audit by a halal inspection agency and a fatwa from the MUI.

How SHLN registration works
The steps from a recognized foreign certificate to a product you can sell in Indonesia.
Step 1 — Confirm certifier and category
We check that your halal certification body holds an agreement with BPJPH and that it covers your product’s category.
Step 2 — Appoint a local representative
A foreign company cannot file on its own, so we act as your local applicant in Indonesia.
Step 3 — Prepare the documents
Your valid foreign halal certificate, the product and label details, and translations where they are required.
Step 4 — Register through SIHALAL
We submit the SHLN registration on BPJPH’s portal and manage the technical filing.
Step 5 — Registration number issued
BPJPH issues an electronic SHLN registration number, signed by its head, in up to 30 working days. The government fee is IDR 800,000.
Step 6 — Label the product
The SHLN registration number goes on the product label, alongside the Halal Indonesia logo, before the product is sold.

Foreign certificate questions
What importers ask about the SHLN route.
How do I check whether my halal certifier is recognized?
BPJPH publishes the list of recognized foreign halal certification bodies at halal.go.id, and the searchable table above mirrors it. Recognition is granted per product category, so confirm your body is listed for your product type, not just listed at all.
If I have a recognized foreign certificate, do I still need to register?
Yes. Recognition removes the need to re-certify, but SHLN registration with BPJPH is mandatory before the product can be placed on the Indonesian market.
How long does SHLN registration take, and what does it cost?
Up to 30 working days under BPJPH Decree 221/2025, with a government fee of IDR 800,000. That is far quicker than full certification, which runs months for a foreign product.
What if my certifier is not recognized?
Your product takes the full certification route through BPJPH, with an audit by a halal inspection agency and a fatwa from the MUI. We handle either path.
How long is an SHLN registration valid?
It follows the validity of your underlying foreign halal certificate. When that certificate is renewed or changes, the registration has to be updated.
Can a foreign company register an SHLN directly?
No. A foreign company files through a local representative or importer in Indonesia, who acts as the applicant.
Which product categories can use the SHLN route?
Agreements cover categories such as food, beverages, cosmetics, drugs, and chemical products. Each body’s recognition is limited to the categories named in its agreement.
