When Will SIM Services Reopen? Check the Schedule

SOLO, KOMPAS.com - Services for issuing and renewing driving licences (SIM) will reopen on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. Previously, the services were temporarily suspended during the 2026 Lebaran holidays. This policy aligns with the national holiday schedule.

The Indonesian National Police announced that SIM services at traffic police offices, SIM kios, and mobile SIM services will reopen after the Lebaran holidays conclude.

The Deputy Head of the Registration and Identification Sub-Directorate of the Central Java Police Traffic Directorate, AKBP Prianggo Malau, stated that in observance of the national holidays, the joint leave for the Holy Day of Nyepi in the Saka 1948 New Year, and Eid al-Fitr 1447 H, SIM issuance services will be temporarily suspended.

This service closure applies generally across various regions. Both SIM services at police offices, shopping centres, and mobile SIM services will follow the national holiday schedule.

After the holiday period ends, SIM issuance services will reopen on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. On that date, the public can once again process new issuances or renewals of their SIM.

With the dispensation in place, SIMs that expire between 18 and 24 March can still be renewed after services reopen, from 25 to 31 March 2026.

SIM holders simply need to visit a traffic police office or SIM renewal service during that dispensation period. They can still renew their SIM without having to go through the full new issuance process.

Therefore, the public is advised to check the validity period of their SIM before the long holiday period. With proper planning, handling driving document matters can be done without issues.
