Judicial Assistance
Indonesia-specific information concerning legal matters, depositions, service of papers or collection of evidence is at http://www.travel.state.gov/law/judicial/judicial_702.html. Consular officers cannot offer legal advice, serve papers or arrange depositions. There are no deposition facilities in the embassy. Jakarta's consular officers can administer an oath at a nearby deposition site that you have arranged. Advance planning is essential, especially for government agencies or interests, or compulsion of testimony, which may require the Indonesian Government's prior approval. U.S. government officials must first contact the Departments of State and Justice, Washington DC, as well as their own agency headquarters.
