Indonesian Language Notary Guide
An Indonesian language notary guide is a tool to help notarize a document written in the Indonesian language, or for a signer who speaks Indonesian. If the notary does not speak Indonesian, this helps to bridge the language barrier. It is similar to an Indonesian phrasebook used by a tourist when traveling in an Indonesian-speaking country or community.
In Colorado, the notary may not use a human as a translator or interpreter. This is because the notary would not know if the translator is being honest. The notary must communicate directly with the signer.
GOOGLE TRANSLATE
Google Translate is free software that can translate an Indonesian document. It is available at https://translate.google.com/ or can be downloaded as a phone application.
You can cut and paste text from an Indonesian language document, upload a document file, or enter a website address for translation. That may be useful to translate an Indonesian language foreign embassy website.
It helps the notary to use reasonable care to confirm the title and purpose of the document. The translated document is not notarized, so the translation does not need to be 100% accurate. The original document in the Indonesian language is notarized.
The notary certificate can be in the Indonesian language if the notary speaks Indonesian. If the document is going to a foreign country and needs an apostille certificate attached by the Colorado Secretary of State (SOS), then the notary certificate must be in English.
If the signer does not speak good English, an Indonesian language notary guide that includes common notary questions and sentences may be a useful tool. Below are some suggestions. The notary may include others as needed for the situation, and then use Google Translate to generate a numbered list. The notary can then point to the line number to select a phrase or question. The signer could type an answer in Google Translate and then translate it into English.

The notary should write the title and description of the document in the notary journal. For example, a Power of Attorney in Indonesian is called a Surat Kuasa. The number of pages should be shown. Ask the signer to fill in any blank spaces before notarizing.
It is best to use the date format: July 4, 2022, rather than 7/4/22 (mm-dd-yy). In many foreign countries, the date is in dd-mm-yy format, so 7/4/22 would be 7 Apr 2022.
An Indonesian language notary guide can be a useful tool for a notary to accommodate an Indonesian language speaker.
