The SIM must still be valid.

Examinations, administration, packaging and delivery are separate. The cited official page has conflicting psychological-test figures, so check the charge at booking. Charges listed in the Digital Korlantas FAQ for SINAR renewal (SIM A and C) | Item | Amount in the official FAQ | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | SIM A renewal fee (PNBP) | Rp80,000 | Excludes admin, packaging and delivery from SATPAS. | | SIM C renewal fee (PNBP) | Rp75,000 | Excludes admin, packaging and delivery from SATPAS. | | Psychological test (epPsi) | Rp37,500 or Rp77,500 | The same FAQ page gives both figures; check the amount when booking.

Read the expiry date and licence class. If the SIM has expired, ask SATPAS which process applies. Do not rely on social posts promising lifetime validity or universally free renewal. Official guidance for SINAR includes verification of the phone number, KTP details and face. Resolve mismatched information before proceeding with documents or payment. ## Plan the total cost and timing Record issuance, examination and delivery costs separately. A payment at one stage may not cover the whole process. Check the test provider’s displayed price where official references differ. Choose a receiving method you can use and keep payment evidence and the transaction number. Queues and shipping affect completion. Temporary holiday arrangements apply only within their announced dates and areas. ## Things to check carefully - Apply before the SIM expires. The Digital Korlantas FAQ recommends applying 30 days before expiry because processing takes 3–7 working days, excluding delivery. - Blurred photographs or inconsistent details can cause rejection. - Applying from abroad: the Digital Korlantas FAQ says in-app renewal is not yet available outside Indonesia. - Choosing Ambil Sendiri (self-pickup) and expecting to switch to POS Indonesia delivery later. Once chosen, self-pickup cannot be changed. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I renew an expired SIM in the app? No. An expired SIM cannot be renewed in the Digital Korlantas app; contact the nearest SATPAS. Police Regulation 5 of 2021 says an expired SIM requires an application for a new SIM. The only exception is force majeure, decided by the head of the Traffic Police Corps (Kakorlantas). ### Does the digital SIM replace the physical card? The digital identity is supplementary; it does not replace the physical card. ### Is completion within three days guaranteed? No. Processing queues and delivery affect timing. ### SATPAS rejected my application. What happens to my payment? According to the Digital Korlantas FAQ, rejection happens when data do not match or documents are incomplete. Check your refund account regularly for 1–5 working days after the rejection notice. The refund is reduced by a Rp10,000 admin fee and a Rp6,500 interbank transfer fee, and health and psychological test fees are not refunded. You can reapply in the app while your SIM is still valid. ### No virtual account number, or my transaction was cancelled? Open Transaksi, select your transaction, tap Lanjut ke Pembayaran, then Pilih Metode Pembayaran and Lihat Nomor Rekening; also check your email. If the number still does not appear, the FAQ suggests clearing the cache and reapplying within 24 hours. A transaction is cancelled if it is not paid in time or the step to view the account number was not completed. ## Official sources 1.
