What is OSS-RBA?
OSS-RBA (Online Single Submission - Risk Based Approach) is Indonesia's integrated online licensing system introduced under the 2020 Omnibus Law (Job Creation Law).
Instead of applying for multiple permits separately, businesses now register through a single portal. The system automatically determines what permits you need based on the risk level of your business activities (determined by your KBLI codes).
Key Benefits
- Faster licensing for low-risk activities
- Single integrated portal for all permits
- NIB serves as multiple licenses in one
- Clear requirements based on risk level
