History: Our vision of Care and Responsibility.
The establishment of Jiwasraya has been through a long history. It all started with NILLMIJ, Nederlandsch Indiesche Levensverzekering en Liffrente Maatschappij van 1859, on December 31, 1859. The first life insurance in Indonesia (it was Dutch Indies) was established based on Notarial Deed of William Hendry Herklots No. 185.
In 1957, the Dutch life insurance companies having business location in Indonesia experienced nationalization following the implementation of Indonesian economy program for the country. On December 17, 1960, NILLMIJ van 1859 was nationalized based on Government Regulation No. 23 of the year 1958 and changed its name into PT Perusahaan Pertanggungan Djiwa Sedjahtera.
Then based on Government Regulation No. 214 of the year 1961, dated 1 January 1961, 9 (nine) of the Dutch life insurance companies with NILLMIJ van 1859 as the core was merged into Perusahaan Negara Asuransi Djiwa Eka Sedjahtera.

One year later, on January 1, 1966, based on Government Regulation No.40 of the year 1965, a new state owned company called Perusahaan Negara Asuransi Djiwasraja was established following the merger of Perusahaan Negara Asuransi Djiwa Sedjahtera.
With the issuance of the Decree of Minister of Insurance No. 2/SK/66 dated 1 January 1966, PT Pertanggungan Djiwa Dharma Nasional was managed by the Government and was also integrated into Perusahaan Negara Asuransi Djiwasraja.
Based on Government Regulation No. 33 of the year 1972 dated 23 March 1973, and Notarial Deed of Mohamad Ali No. 12 of the year 1973, the status of Perusahaan Negara Asuransi Djiwasraya was changed into Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) Asuransi Jiwasraya with some changes and addition from Notarial Deed of Sri Rahayu No. 839 of the year 1984 and the Appendix of State Gazette No. 67 dated 21 August 1984 to the Article of Association, thus confirming the establishment of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya.
