New AML/CFT Watchdog Takes Action: Notaries Now Required to Screen Service Users and Beneficial Owners Against Designated/Targeted Lists and Report Matches to PPATK

In order to strengthen the implementation of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (“AML/CFT”) principles by notaries, the Minister of Law has issued Regulation No. 10 of 2026 (“Regulation 10/2026”) on the Implementation of the Know-Your-Service-User Principle (Prinsip Mengenali Jasa Pengguna – “PMJP”) by Notaries.[1] Upon its official entry into force on 6 February 2026, this new framework simultaneously repealed and replaced Regulation No. 9 of 2017 (“Regulation 9/2017”), which bore the same title as Regulation 10/2026.[2]
