The online SIM extension application can now be easily downloaded from the Playstore. This initiative was taken by the Korlantas Polri to facilitate the public in extending their SIM. Thus, the public does not need to hassle back and forth to the Satpas or SIM service counters. Below, the online SIM extension application and how to use it will be explained in detail. Here is the complete explanation.
Online SIM Extension Application 2024
A SIM is a legal permit to drive on public roads. In Indonesia, a SIM is valid for five years and must be renewed. If the SIM owner does not renew before the expiration date, the SIM is declared expired, and a new SIM must be created. To create a new SIM, you need to take a driving test, either written or practical. Many people find this process very time-consuming.
To address this issue, the Korlantas Polri created its own online SIM extension application called the Digital Korlantas Polri Application (Sinar). This application was first launched two years ago, specifically in April 2021 on the Playstore. Until now, this application is continuously developed and updated by Korlantas Polri for the comfort and convenience of its users.
