Police streamline driving license services

JAKARTA: The city police have streamlined its services,
allowing residents to get their driving licenses or renew their
licenses at the nearest police precincts, instead of going to the
Daan Mogot Integrated Service Office in West Jakarta.

"Residents can go to the nearest police precinct from Oct. 1
to get their driving licenses or renew their old ones," National
Police chief, Gen. Da'i Bachtiar said on Friday.

"Our integrated office in Daan Mogot may be too far to reach
for most residents. We want to approach the residents.
Besides, we also want to prevent scalpers from taking advantages
on driving license applicants," he added.

The integrated office processes some 2,000 driving license
applications daily. -- JP
