How to apply for an Indonesian SKCK police certificate

What to prepare

• KTP-el, Family Card, and birth certificate or diploma as required by the police unit.
• Photographs and fingerprint information as the Police instruct; requirements differ for citizens and foreign residents.

Steps you can follow

1. Choose the SKCK purpose

   Identify the purpose and competent Police office; overseas employment may require a different issuing level.

2. Register officially

   Use the Presisi Super App or ask your local Polres. Match your KTP-el data and upload documents if applying online.

3. Verify and pay

   Complete required identity and fingerprint checks, then pay only through the designated government fee channel.

4. Check the certificate

   Check the name, stated purpose, issue date and validity before submitting the certificate.

Costs and timing

Police information lists an SKCK government fee of Rp30,000; confirm the current charge and payment route with the issuing office. Six months is validity, not processing time.

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

New, renewal and overseas use

Renewal may require the old certificate and current documents. The purpose determines which office can issue it.

If the app cannot verify your identity, use Police support rather than sharing your NIK with an unknown intermediary.
