You can now renew your driving license online through the Digital Korlantas POLRI (SINAR) application by preparing your e-KTP, current driver's license, medical examination result, psychological test result, passport photo, and digital signature.

The renewal fee is also relatively affordable, ranging from Rp30,000 to Rp225,000 depending on the type of license you hold.

Let's take a closer look at the complete process below.

3. Wait for Verification

Once payment is confirmed, SATPAS officers will review your documents and submitted information. If everything is complete and valid, the license printing process will begin.

4. Choose Your Delivery Method

Your completed driver's license can either be delivered to your address or collected directly from SATPAS. If someone else collects it on your behalf, an authorization letter is required.

How Long Does the Renewal Process Take?

Online driver's license renewal generally takes 3–7 business days, depending on verification and printing queues at SATPAS. This timeframe does not include physical delivery to your address.

Applications submitted after 3:00 PM will be processed on the following business day. Ensure all uploaded information and documents are complete and accurate to avoid rejection or delays.

How Much Does Driver's License Renewal Cost?

Renewal fees are regulated under Government Regulation No. 60 of 2016 concerning Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP).

Please note that these fees do not include application administration, packaging, or delivery costs.

Can a Driver's License Expired for Two Months Still Be Renewed?

No. If your driver's license has expired—even by just one day—you must apply for a new license and complete the required theory and practical examinations.

Exceptions may apply when the expiration date coincides with a national holiday or an official police holiday period, during which renewal extensions may be granted.

Is an Online Driver's License Renewal Issued Immediately?

No. After submitting your application and payment through the Digital Korlantas POLRI application, your documents must still undergo verification and printing at SATPAS.

The physical license will then be delivered to your selected address or made available for collection.

How Long Does Online Driver's License Renewal Processing Take?

The verification and printing process typically takes 1–3 business days. During periods of high demand, processing may take up to 3–7 business days.

This timeframe includes document verification, payment confirmation, license printing, and delivery.
