The questions we hear most

For food, drink, slaughter products, and slaughter services from micro and small enterprises, the deadline is 17 October 2026. Medium and large businesses in the same group have been obliged since 17 October 2024. Traditional medicine, supplements, cosmetics, chemical products, biological products, genetically engineered products, and consumer goods also fall due on 17 October 2026.

The regular route involves inspection by a Halal Inspection Body (LPH) and a halal determination by the MUI Fatwa Commission. The self-declare route is only for micro and small enterprises with low-risk products and unambiguously halal ingredients; it is verified by a PPH facilitator and determined by the Halal Product Fatwa Committee.

On the regular route the service application fee is Rp300,000 (Rp200,000 for registration, document check and certificate issuance; Rp100,000 for the halal determination), plus the LPH inspection fee, which depends on the number of production facilities, mandays, and travel. For small businesses on the regular route the common total is about Rp650,000. These go to BPJPH and are separate from our service fee.

No. Halal certificates are issued solely by BPJPH. Halal status is determined by the MUI Fatwa Commission (regular route) or the Halal Product Fatwa Committee (self-declare). Our role is to prepare the system, the documents, and the guidance that gets you through.

It depends on how ready your paperwork is. The self-declare route for small businesses can finish in two to four weeks when the file is complete. The regular route usually runs one and a half to three months, with most of that time spent assembling the ingredient register and chasing supplier documents.

A halal certificate stays valid as long as the product and its ingredients do not change. You are, however, obliged to report every ingredient, supplier, or process change to BPJPH and to keep the SJPH alive. An unreported change can void the certificate.
