Paying Motor Vehicle Tax in West Java Only Requires STNK, No Need for Original Owner's ID

The West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov Jabar) is easing the process for the public to pay motor vehicle taxes. Starting 6 April 2026, residents can fulfil their annual motor vehicle tax obligations without bringing the original owner’s identity card (KTP).

Governor of West Java Dedi Mulyadi explained that those paying motor vehicle taxes only need to bring the Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK) and the identity card (KTP) of the person in control of the vehicle. This facilitation applies to both individual and corporate taxpayers.

“May this ease smooth all Samsat services in West Java and facilitate the public in paying taxes,” he stated.

The Governor added that this measure is also expected to increase public awareness and compliance in paying motor vehicle taxes. The policy responds to a complaint from a resident who felt burdened when paying taxes at one of the Samsat offices in West Java. The resident was asked to pay an unofficial additional fee of Rp700,000 for not bringing the original vehicle owner’s KTP. He then uploaded a video of the incident to social media (medsos), which came to the governor’s attention.

“Paying taxes must not be made difficult because the government’s duty is to facilitate people in paying taxes. Come on, pay your motor vehicle tax soon to participate in realising an exceptional West Java,” he urged.

Governor Dedi Mulyadi also stated there will be no increase in motor vehicle tax (PKB) and motor vehicle re-registration fee (BBNKB) for 2026.
