The term of office of the Attorney General was determined by the Constitutional Court of Indonesia in 2010 to be concurrent with the term of office of the President of Indonesia.[2] The current Attorney General of Indonesia Sanitiar Burhanuddin, who assumed office in October 2019.

Buildings of the attorney general's office
The Attorney General's Office began at a time when the authority to prosecute and to adjudicate were unseparated. Its first office were shared with the first Supreme Court building complex in 2-4 Lapangan Banteng Timur street, nearby the Waterloosplein (now Lapangan Banteng, Jakarta). The building were previously used as the Hoggerechtshof te Batavia (an appellate court named the High Court of Batavia, now High Court of Jakarta), and currently it is occupied and managed by the Ministry of Finance, who also occupied and managed the Paleis van Daendels building next door.[6]
The Hoggerechtshof building that were designed by architect Ir. Tramp and completed in 1825 during governor general Du Bus' tenure, were initially used as the headquarters of the Governors General of the Dutch East Indies. Then on 1 May 1848, the building were used by the recently established Departement van Justitie (Department of Justice), which oversaw the court system and the administration of justice in the colony. Sometimes later, the classical style building with six pillars on the front were fully used as the Hoggerechtshof, which included the prosecutor's office.[6]
Throughout the early Indonesian independence period, the prosecutor's office remained attached to the court in Jakarta, which through the Government Edict No. 9/1946, established Jakarta — and by extension the Hoggerechtshof building — as the seat of the Indonesian Supreme Court. Through the 1947 Act on the Organization and Authority of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General's Office (Шаблон:Lang-id), it reaffirmed the relation between the supreme court and the attorney general's office.[7]
Later with the promulgation of the 1961 Public Prosecution Service Act (Шаблон:Lang-id), the attorney general's office were separated from the supreme court. In 1968 during the tenure of Attorney General Soegih Arto, the Office were moved out from the Supreme Court building to a site in 1 Sultan Hassanuddin street in Kebayoran Baru, which is its current site.[8]
On 22 August 2020, the main building of the Attorney General's office complex caught on fire.[9] The old building was demolished and was rebuilt. It was completed in late 2022.[10]
