Easy! How to Check Your NIB Online and Register for It

As a business actor, KH Friend definitely needs an NIB or Business Identification Number as an identity in carrying out business activities. But unfortunately, there are still many business actors who do not understand well what is meant by NIB, how to register, and how to check NIB online. Moreover, this NIB has a new policy enacted in 2018 through Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 91 of 2017. Where if previously business actors needed various licenses such as TDP, SIUP, and IUP, but with the existence of NIB, KH Friend did not need to take care of these licensing letters. So in essence, NIB is a substitute for the previous license and makes the licensing process simpler. Thus, the business process becomes easier. Now, seeing the importance of NIB for business activities, in this article we will thoroughly explore what NIB is, how to check NIB online, and how to register. Check out the explanation until the end!

What is NIB?

NIB or Business Identification Number is the identity of a business actor consisting of 13 random digit numbers, and is issued by an online institution called Online Single Submission (OSS) under the Ministry of Investment / BKPM. The role of NIB as a business identity is motivated by the regulation of Government Regulation (PP) No. 24 of 2018 concerning Electronically Integrated Business Licensing Services. NIB is a single business identity that also applies as an Import Identification Number (API), Company Registration Certificate (TDP), and Customs Access Rights. Especially for MSME business actors who carry out business activities with a low level of risk, NIB also applies as an Indonesian national standard and also a halal guarantee statement by the government.

How to Check NIB Online?

Well, after successfully registering through the OSS system, KH Friend can check NIB online to make sure whether the NIB you downloaded has been registered or not. Quoted from the Flip page, checking NIB online can be done through the official INSW and NISWI websites. Here is the explanation:

What is the Importance of NIB for Business Actors?

Now, KH Friend already understands what is meant by NIB, how to register, and how to check it online. So, what is the importance of NIB for business actors?

Yes, according to the laws and regulations, the legality of business activities cannot be ignored. Specifically related to NIBK, there are several reasons why it is important for business actors to have NIB.

Facilitate Business Legality

NIB is like the NIK of a citizen. By pocketing the NIB, KH Friend can more easily take care of the business licenses needed later. In addition, NIB must also be included in other registration documents related to business licensing, such as BPJS Employment registration and Trade Business License (SIUP).

Faster Business License Application Process

Don’t even think that applying for an NIB takes weeks, let alone months. The OSS system makes it easier for you to take care of licensing, because there is an automatic approval system and there is no obligation to preview documents anymore.

Permit application requirements have also been uniformed. If KH Friend has filled in the information as well as uploaded the required files, then the permit can be issued faster than expected!

Opportunity to Obtain Various Facilities

Owning an NIB not only ensures business legality, but also opens up opportunities to obtain various facilities, both provided by the government, banks and other institutions. For example, business financing from banks, training opportunities. As well as the opportunity to register in government procurement of goods / services. That is a review of how to register and check NIB online, including its importance for business actors. Although there are no sanctions or legal consequences that can ensnare, business actors who have NIB will get several benefits and conveniences when compared to other business actors who do not have NIB.

Moreover, NIB is an identity needed to take care of other legality documents, so that by pocketing NIB, business actors no longer need to worry about difficulties and illegality of business due to legality.
