Lost SIM Can Be Reissued: Requirements and Fees

SOLO, KOMPAS.com - A driving licence (SIM) is a mandatory document for all motor vehicle operators.

Beyond serving as proof of legal driving status, the SIM is also essential during traffic checks on the road.

However, vehicle owners often lose their SIM due to misplacement, stolen wallets, or other reasons.

In such cases, there is no need for concern; lost SIMs can be reissued without having to apply for a new one from scratch.

AKBP Prianggo Malau, Sub-Director of Registration at the Central Java Police Traffic Directorate, stated that lost SIMs can be reissued.

However, Article 9 paragraph 3(b) of Police Regulation No. 2 of 2023 requires a police report of loss to be submitted for reissuance.

Reissuing a lost SIM can be done at any traffic police office (Satpas) without needing to return to the original issuing city.
