QUICK ANSWER

How do I check an ETLE traffic fine safely?

Check a suspected electronic traffic fine at konfirmasi-etle.polri.go.id, not a random text-message link. Confirm within 8 days of the offence and pay through BRIVA within 15 days of the offence; after that the STNK is blocked. Police say genuine notices never require installing an APK file.

Guide contents

What you need to check an ETLE traffic fine

  • Registration and vehicle details; enter personal data only on the official Police site.
  • Notice or reference number if one was received.

How to check an ETLE traffic fine

  1. Type the official address

    Open konfirmasi-etle.polri.go.id directly. Check domain and HTTPS before entering data.

  2. Match the event

    Check registration, image, time, place and alleged violation where shown.

  3. Follow confirmation steps

    If the case matches, confirm within 8 days of the offence using the reference and registration numbers on the letter, then pay with the BRIVA code sent by SMS within 15 days of the offence. Keep the confirmation and payment records.

  4. Report fake messages

    Do not open APK attachments or transfer to personal accounts. Use a Police complaint channel for misuse.

ETLE fines and checking costs

ETLE fines follow the offence under the Road Traffic Law (Law 22/2009); its fine amounts still apply, while short custodial sentences (kurungan) were removed by Law 1/2026. Example: driving without a valid STNK carries a fine of up to Rp500,000 (Article 288(1)). The checking site charges nothing; pay only with the official BRIVA code after confirmation.

Check current requirements, availability and charges through the official reference ↗ before applying or paying.

Deadlines for confirmation, payment and court

According to the FAQ at konfirmasi-etle.polri.go.id, the owner has 8 days from the offence to confirm, and payment is due within 15 days of the offence date; if either is missed, the STNK is blocked. After confirming you receive an email with the court date and place and an SMS with the BRIVA code. Paying means you do not need to attend court, though you may still choose to.

The confirmation letter goes to the registered owner’s address. If you sold the vehicle, confirm and give the new rider’s details, then make sure the ownership transfer is completed. For face-to-face help, go to the Posko Gakkum ETLE at the regional police (Polda).

Safe digital notices

Scams may threaten STNK blocking to create urgency. Police say official ETLE messages do not send APK files and direct verification to a .go.id domain. If you sold the vehicle but the registration remains in your name, review ownership transfer.

Things to check carefully

  • Never install a traffic-fine APK from a text message.
  • If vehicle data do not match, ask Police before paying.

Frequently asked questions
