When doing transactions using certificates, deeds, letters of agreement, or other securities, people need stamp duty so that these documents can be accounted for and recognized in court. The payment of this stamp duty is denoted by a stamp affixed to these documents. Formerly, the ratification of these paper documents required the presence and approval of several parties before the stamp was affixed. As time goes by, many people are starting to shift to digital documents. Now, the public has the convenience of completing the stamp-affixing process through an online portal since UU No 10 Tahun 2020 concerning Bea Meterai was passed.

Advantages of e-Meterai

The e-Meterai that can be affixed in a digital document is different in physical characteristics from the paper one. e-Meterai offers several advantages that make it better than the conventional stamps and stamp duty payment methods. Here are the 3 most significant advantages of e-Meterai:

1.    More Practical

In contrast to the conventionally affixed paper stamps (meterai), e-Meterai offers practicality in its buying and affixing process. Formerly, people had to buy a stamp from stationery, photocopy shop, or modern retail to get a stamp. Now, people can easily get e-Meterai from anywhere through the system provided by Peruri. The process of purchasing and affixing the e-Meterai is more convenient and practical because it can be done on an online portal that Peruri has developed. This process can be done through the link https://mitracomm.e-Meterai.co.id. Besides, the seal included in the e-Meterai technology system can also ease large agencies or companies to do transactions because they no longer need a lot of time to print and scan documents.

2.    Authentic

In many cases, the conventional stamps (meterai) are often misused by being counterfeited or even reused. This problem is detrimental to the government and does not guarantee the document’s validity in the law. E-meterai will guarantee the authenticity and validity of documents. e-Meterai has several must-have characteristics; one of them is a unique code in the form of a serial number. This unique code will distinguish each e-Meterai, so the possibility of being counterfeited and even reused will be minimal. In addition, Peruri also has a validation system that can prevent e-Meterai counterfeit attempts. Even Peruri has provided an application that can examine valid information related to the e-Meterai, including serial number, time stamping or the time of affixing, and the party who does the affixing. The application can be downloaded on the Google Play Store and Apple Store under “Peruri Scanner”.

3.      Documents Stored Safely

Stamps (meterai) affixed to paper documents are potentially be lost or damaged. Your documents will still be stored safely using digital documents and affixed with e-Meterai. When buying and affixing e-Meterai in the portal, you need to create an account that requires some personal information to register. After successfully registering, you will have an account that stores your documents and affix histories. More than that, you can also re-download existing documents through the portal within 1×24 hours, or you can view the history via the user’s email because when you finish stamping, the document is automatically sent to your email. e-Meterai also has a system that can detect changes in documents that have been affixed with e-Meterai to prevent fraud.
