Paying Vehicle Tax Without Owner's ID, Does the STNK Become Invalid?

SOLO, KOMPAS.com - One of the requirements for validating a vehicle registration document (STNK) is to attach the identity card (KTP) registered as the owner. This process is carried out routinely every year, along with the payment of motor vehicle tax (PKB). Therefore, paying the PKB without attaching the KTP matching the STNK renders the document legally invalid. “In the process, the applicant must attach the application form, STNK, TBPKP, original KTP matching the STNK data, and a stamped power of attorney along with a photocopy of the grantor’s KTP if authorised,” said Prianggo to KOMPAS.com on Saturday (11/4/2026). The process or stages of motor vehicle registration and identification are regulated in Police Regulation No. 7 of 2021 on Motor Vehicle Registration and Identification (Regident Ranmor) in Article 63 paragraph 2. At the registration stage, officers will verify and validate documents as well as input the owner’s identity data and vehicle into the Regident Information System (ERI system). This is regulated in Article 64 paragraphs 1 to 3. “If the requirements are incomplete or invalid, the application must be returned, as regulated in Article 64 paragraph 4,” said Prianggo. Therefore, according to Prianggo, the application will be returned or cannot be validated, because the STNK is declared valid if issued through the specified mechanism, meets the requirements, and is verified in the Regident Ranmor system.
