KatadataOTO – Having a SIM (Driver's License) is an obligation for every car and motorcycle owner in Indonesia. It serves as proof that you are competent to operate a vehicle.
Furthermore, it shows you understand and comprehend the traffic regulations set by the National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas Polri).
On the other hand, ensuring your SIM is not expired is equally important. This is because the document is only valid for five years from the date of issuance.
Drivers must not be late in renewing their SIM. If you are even one day late, you will be required to go through the new issuance process at the Satpas in Daan Mogot, West Jakarta.
The above provision is stated in the National Police Chief Regulation number 5 of 2021, article 4. And Law number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, article 85 paragraph 2.
Therefore, the Metro Jaya Regional Police provides a number of facilities. For example, the Jakarta Mobile SIM service today, Friday (3/1).
You can find it in five different locations. This makes it easier for residents who want to manage their SIM's validity period.
People just need to visit one of the Jakarta Mobile SIM locations, such as at LTC Glodok. Then, register at the provided counter.
For your information, today is the last chance to take advantage of the dispensation provided by the Metro Jaya Regional Police.
Please remember that renewing a SIM cannot be done just like that. There are steps and documents that need to be considered.
It should be noted that the Jakarta Mobile SIM service only accepts licenses that are still valid. If it has expired by even one day, you are required to go through the new application process from the beginning.
