Sunday: Mobile Driving Licence Service Available at Two Locations in Jakarta

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Directorate of Traffic (Ditlantas) of Metro Jaya Regional Police is opening two locations for the mobile Driving Licence (SIM) service for the public who wish to renew the validity period of this legal requirement for driving, in the Jakarta area, on Sunday. The mobile SIM service provided by Ditlantas Metro Jaya Regional Police is an effort to make it easier for the public to handle or complete one of the requirements when driving. Through the X account @tmcpoldametro, it was announced that this service is open from 07:00 to 12:00 WIB. The locations are as follows: East Jakarta: Jalan Raden Mas Intan, next to McDonald’s, Duren Sawit; West Jakarta: Jalan Panjang next to Indomaret, Kebon Jeruk. The requirements are a photocopy of a valid ID card, the old physical SIM and photocopy, proof of health check, and proof of psychology test. This mobile SIM service can only renew SIMs that are still valid for certain categories, namely SIM A and SIM C. This service only handles renewals for SIM A and SIM C that are still valid, while holders of SIMs whose validity has expired must apply for a new SIM at the Daan Mogot SIM Police Station, West Jakarta. The validity period of SIMs is now calculated as five years from the date of issuance and no longer adjusted to the owner’s date of birth. This policy ensures that the SIM expiry date is determined based on the issuance time, not the applicant’s date of birth. For the renewal fee, in accordance with Government Regulation Number 76 of 2020 on Types and Rates of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) applicable to the National Police, it is Rp80,000 for SIM A renewal and Rp75,000 for SIM C renewal. In addition to these fees, applicants also need to pay additional costs, including Rp60,000 for the psychology test and Rp35,000 for the health test. For information, drivers who cannot show a valid SIM will be subject to sanctions in accordance with Article 288 paragraph 2 of Law Number 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation. The maximum sanction that can be imposed is imprisonment for up to one month or a fine of up to Rp250,000.
