Berapa Lama STNK Mobil Baru Keluar? Ini Info Terbaru!

How long does it take for a new vehicle registration certificate (STNK) to be issued? This question is often asked by someone when buying a new car. This is because the STNK is a requirement for driving a car on the road and is often required for parking in several public facilities. Let's find out the estimated issuance time by considering the following review.

How Long Does It Take for a New Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK) to Be Issued? 

As a new car owner, you must be eager to drive the car you just bought. Whether it's just for a trip or to visit relatives or friends. When you buy a new car, the STNK will not be issued immediately. This is because the car dealer will submit the documents of the car you purchased to the Samsat to apply for the STNK issuance.

So, how long is the estimated issuance time for a new car STNK? For CKD (Completely Knock Down) cars or imported cars assembled in Indonesia, the estimated issuance time for the STNK takes about 10 to 14 working days after the STNK application process is completed. Meanwhile, for new CBU (Completely Built Up) cars or fully imported cars, the estimated issuance time is 30 days after the STNK application process is completed. 

Causes of Delayed STNK Issuance for Cars

There are several factors that can cause the estimated issuance time for a car STNK to be delayed that you need to know. Here are the complete causes.

1. The purchased car is of CBU type

The first factor why the estimated issuance time for a new car STNK is long is because the purchased car is of CBU type. As explained above, this type of car requires an estimated STNK issuance time of 30 days.

2. Incomplete application data

The second factor could be due to incomplete data in the STNK issuance application, which needs to be completed with the necessary requirements first.

3. Processing is done collectively

The third factor could be that the dealer where you bought the new car is processing the vehicle registration documents collectively. Collective processing can only be done if all car buyers at that dealer have completed all the required documents for the STNK issuance.

4. Purchase invoice is still with the manufacturer

The fourth factor could be that your car purchase invoice is still held by the manufacturer or has not been issued yet.

How to Check If the New Car STNK Has Been Issued

There are several ways to easily check whether the new car STNK has been issued or not. Here are the complete methods.

1. Check via Whatsapp or phone

The first way is to check via Whatsapp or phone. It's easy, you just need to contact the Customer Service of the car dealer you purchased from using Whatsapp or by phone. If you do not know the Customer Service phone number, you can find it on Google Maps or contact the sales representative from that dealer.

2. Check directly at the dealer

The second way is to visit the dealer directly. You can do this if you have plenty of free time. Just show your ID card and the purchase invoice of the new car to the dealer staff. They will inform you about the estimated issuance time of the new car STNK. If it has been issued, the staff will hand it over to you directly.

3. Check directly at Samsat

The last way is to visit Samsat directly. This method is quite effective if the dealer processes the new car STNK issuance collectively. Sometimes, the STNK for the car you purchased may already be ready, but the dealer is reluctant to pick it up because they are waiting for the STNK from other consumers to be completed. 

After reading the review above, you now know how long it takes for a new car STNK to be issued, hopefully, this can help.
