List of 6 Provinces that Can Extend STNK Without the Previous Owner's ID
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Several regions are beginning to provide conveniences for owners of used vehicles in handling annual taxes. STNK extensions now do not always require the previous owner’s ID, which has often been an obstacle in the administrative process. Director of Registration and Identification (Dirregident) of Korlantas Polri, Brigjen Pol. Wibowo, stated that the purpose of this policy is to address the controversy surrounding the requirement for the previous vehicle owner’s ID, which frequently hinders tax payments. Although it applies nationally, implementation is being carried out gradually by each regional government. Here are the 6 provinces that have already implemented it: The West Java Provincial Government has applied the policy of paying motor vehicle taxes without the original owner’s ID since 6 April 2026 through Circular Letter number 47/KU.03.02/Bapenda on Annual Motor Vehicle Tax Payments Without the First Owner’s ID. Quoted from the Jabarprov website, here are the requirements that West Java residents need to bring when paying motor vehicle taxes that have not yet been transferred: DKI Jakarta provides similar flexibility, but with the condition of signing a declaration of willingness to transfer ownership in 2027. This policy only applies to annual STNK extensions, not including 5-year STNK extensions (plate replacement). “Through the obligation to sign the declaration, the Provincial Government ensures that the vehicle transfer process remains a priority to be completed in the future. Thus, vehicle ownership data in DKI Jakarta remains accurate and can support development planning as well as optimisation of regional revenue,” stated the explanation from Bapenda DKI Jakarta. In Banten, this programme applies from 1 May to 31 December 2026. Taxpayers must still prepare a declaration letter as a commitment to carry out the transfer. Quoted from the official Banten Province website, here are the required documents to bring when handling motor vehicle taxes that have not been transferred: Acting Head of Bapenda of Central Java Province, Muhamad Masrofi, stated that motor vehicle owners must still include several required documents, namely the original STNK, personal identity card, and a vehicle ownership declaration. “The declaration contains a commitment to carry out the transfer process in the following year, and is part of vehicle administration improvement,” he said, quoted from the Jatengprov website.
