Driver's license

Driver's license

From Neraca

It seems to me that it is better for people to renew their driver's license in the Jakarta Police Office by themselves rather than through the service of a middle man. Here I would like to share my experience in this business.

The first thing I did upon arrival was to obtain the health certificate, which cost me Rp 3,000 (official price). Then I collected the form to be filled in and paid in the bank an amount of Rp 52,500. For the insurance it cost me Rp 5,500 (official premium Rp 5,000). I had to pay Rp 10,000 (without receipt) as a substitute for my resident card. I live in Tangerang, so I have a Tangerang resident card which does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police.

I paid Rp 2,000 for the photo (no receipt). Then I just had to wait for the result. Altogether I spent Rp 73,000 for the document I needed. This is much less than the cost of obtaining the driver's license by virtue of a middleman. It is true that I got very tired afterwards and somewhat depressed because I had to move from one section to another a number of times.

I was satisfied as I got my driver's license at the end of the day.
