Indonesia's Digital Economy Drives Adoption of e-Stamp Solutions

Growing Digital Transformation in Business Documents

Indonesia's digital economy is on track to reach between USD 200 billion to USD 360 billion by 2030, driven by a massive base of over 200 million internet users and the increasing adoption of digital technologies across various business sectors. The government has reported that approximately 27 million micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have embraced digital technology, with a target of reaching 30 million digitalized MSMEs. However, the current utilization of digital tools remains concentrated primarily on marketing and sales transactions.

The Rise of Digital Documents and e-Meterai

As businesses increasingly process documents electronically, the use of digital signatures is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7% through 2030. This shift necessitates a comprehensive understanding of legal requirements, particularly regarding the use of e-Meterai PERURI - a digital stamp solution that holds equivalent legal strength to traditional physical stamps. The e-Meterai serves as proof of stamp duty payment and provides legal foundation for business contracts and agreements, particularly in cases of disputes or audits.

Practical Implementation through Authorized Platforms

To facilitate compliance, e-Meterai PERURI is available through authorized distributors and partners. Mekari Sign, an official reseller, has partnered with PERURI's appointed distributor (PDS) to enable businesses to purchase and apply e-stamps directly within their document workflows. The process involves:

1. Logging into the Mekari Sign account
2. Selecting the 'E-METERAI' menu to access purchase and quota management options
3. Determining the required number of e-stamps based on document needs
4. Completing the payment process within the system

Once the payment is processed, the e-Meterai quota is automatically credited to the user's account, allowing for immediate application to digital documents before proceeding with electronic signatures. This streamlined process eliminates the need for physical stamps and manual application, significantly enhancing document processing efficiency while maintaining full legal compliance.
