Latest SIM Renewal Fees and Requirements You Must Meet!

SIM A is a driving license that must be owned by every driver of a four-wheeled or more motor vehicle in Indonesia, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles weighing no more than 3.500 kg.

The validity period of SIM A is 5 years from the date of issuance, and once it expires, it must be renewed immediately.

There are renewal fees for SIM A, which include the issuance fee, health test fee, psychological test fee, and insurance fee. Check out the details below!

Latest SIM Renewal Fees and Requirements You Must Meet!

Biaya Perpanjang Sim A

According to Government Regulation (PP) No. 76 of 2020 concerning the Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) that regulates SIM A renewal fees, the issuance fee is IDR 80.000.

If the renewal is done at the Satpas office or Public Service Mall, the fees for the health test, psychological test, and insurance are usually fixed.

The health test generally costs IDR 35.000. The psychological test fee, which was previously IDR 60.000, has increased to IDR 100.000.

However, a cheaper alternative is taking the psychological test online, which costs IDR 57.500. Lastly, the insurance fee is IDR 50.000.

If the rates are the same, you will need to prepare around IDR 265.000 for the SIM A renewal. But if you take the online psychological test, the total will be IDR 222.500.

How to Renew SIM A via Offline

As the most preferred method by many people these days, here are the steps to renew SIM A via offline:

  1. Visit a SIM renewal service location such as Satpas, SIM Keliling, or a SIM service counter.

  1. Take a SIM renewal application form.

  1. Fill out the form with accurate and complete personal data.

  1. Undergo a physical health examination at the service location.

  1. Have your photo taken and verify your identity.

  1. Make the payment according to the applicable renewal fee.

  1. Wait for the new SIM A to be printed and issued.

How to Renew SIM A via Online

Besides offline services, SIM A renewal can also be done online through the official Digital Korlantas POLRI application, available both on Android and iOS. Here’s how:

  1. Download the Digital Korlantas POLRI app to your mobile phone.

  1. Complete the registration process and upload the required documents, such as your ID card (KTP), old SIM, health test result, and passport photo.

  1. Make the payment using the available methods in the app.

  1. Once all steps are completed, your SIM A renewal will be processed and sent to the address provided in the form.

SIM A Renewal Requirements

In addition to the fees, there are several requirements you must meet to renew your SIM A, including:

  • Five photocopies of your e-KTP or ID card

  • Original SIM A

  • Medical certificate from a doctor

  • Certificate of passing the psychological test

  • Proof of active BPJS Health or National Health Insurance (JKN) membership.

If you plan to renew your SIM A at a Public Service Mall, you must first obtain an online queue number. The renewal process is usually quick, taking about 30 minutes.

So, that’s the breakdown of the SIM A renewal fees you need to prepare and the requirements you must meet to ensure a smooth process. Hopefully, this is useful!

Sering Lupa Sarapan? Hati-hati terhadap Risikonya!

Jakarta, 21 Februari 2020 - MyProtection News

Apakah Anda sering memulai hari tanpa sarapan terlebih dahulu? Profesor Hiroaki Oda dari Universitas Nagoya menyampaikan temuan menarik. Melewatkan sarapan dapat mengacaukan jam biologis tubuh dan meningkatkan risiko obesitas.

Percobaan dilakukan pada tikus yang dibagi ke dalam dua kelompok. Kelompok pertama diberikan sarapan sebelum memulai kegiatan mereka. Sedangkan grup tikus lainnya diberikan makan beberapa jam setelah hewan tersebut memulai aktivitas, sehingga menyerupai keadaan di mana manusia melewatkan sarapan.

Hasilnya, grup tikus yang melewatkan sarapan memiliki jumlah lemak tubuh yang lebih banyak dari grup tikus yang rutin makan sebelum mulai beraktivitas. Grup tikus yang tidak menikmati sarapan juga memiliki metabolism tubuh yang lebih lambat dan akhirnya mempengaruhi proses pencernaan makanan.

Oleh karena itu, bagi Anda yang sering melewatkan sarapan didorong untuk teratur makan sebelum beraktivitas. Selain Anda bisa jadi lebih bertenaga, ada segudang manfaat lainnya dari sarapan, yaitu:

  • Memperlancar metabolism tubuh
  • Menurunkan risiko penyakit jantung dan diabetes tipe 2
  • Penelitian di Amerika Serikat juga menemukan bahwa sarapan bersama anak, khususnya remaja, dapat membantu mereka membangun citra tubuh yang positif
  • Riset menyatakan bahwa pelajar dengan nilai tinggi biasanya lebih sering sarapan dibanding pelajar lainnya

Mulai sarapan sehat, yuk!

Salam,
Sahabat MyProtection
