Closing Samsat Coordination Meeting 2026, Dirregident: Strengthen Synergy and Public Service Quality
Director of Registration and Identification (Dirregident) at Korlantas Polri, Brigadier General Wibowo, officially closed the National Samsat Coordination Meeting for the 2026 Fiscal Year. He called for the continuous strengthening of synergy and public service quality.
In his address, Brigadier General Wibowo emphasised that the public without the original vehicle owner’s KTP can still pay motor vehicle taxes. However, they are required to carry out vehicle ownership transfer as part of the administrative process.
“Serve the public if they indeed do not have the KTP, facilitate the verification, which can proceed to the tax payment process and SWDKLLJ (Mandatory Contribution to Road Traffic Accident Fund) payment. Direct them to carry out ownership transfer this year,” said Brigadier General Wibowo in Semarang on Wednesday (22/4/2026).
He acknowledged that this issue has become a widespread public complaint because many vehicles have changed hands without complete initial documents.
“We understand there are many public complaints regarding the difficulty of the tax payment process without attaching the KTP of the owner according to the STNK. This has become an almost national polemic,” he stated.
Furthermore, based on statutory regulations, STNK verification must be accompanied by the original KTP of the vehicle owner, as regulated in Law Number 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation as well as Police Regulation Number 7 of 2021, Article 61.
As a solution, the public is asked to carry out vehicle ownership transfer. This is in line with the policy of Law Number 1 of 2022 on Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments, where the Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer Duty (BBNKB) fee has been abolished.
“In the past, our public was reluctant or lazy to carry out ownership transfer because they were burdened by the amount of BBN 2 (Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer Duty II) budget; now it has been abolished, the public only needs to pay PNBP (Non-Tax State Revenue),” he explained.
Dirregident also provided a time tolerance to the public in carrying out vehicle ownership transfer.
“Direct them to carry out ownership transfer this year, but we also provide tolerance if the public is still unable to do so this year, maximum next year.”
In addition, Dirregident emphasised the importance of vehicle data validity through the Electronic Registration and Identification (ERI) system, which has been utilised across sectors.
“Our ERI data has been utilised by other ministries, such as for fuel subsidies and social assistance to ensure they are on target,” he revealed.
At the end of his address, he invited all ranks and Samsat mentoring teams to strengthen synergy and provide the best service to the public.
“Serve the public well, carry out massive socialisation, so that we have the same pattern of action down to the grassroots level,” he concluded.
