Forgot Your Physical Driving Licence? Indonesia’s Digital SIM Can Be Shown on a Phone

Author: Qoo Media

Motorists who leave their physical driving licence behind have another way to display their licence details when needed. The Digital Korlantas Polri application can show a Digital SIM directly on a phone after the user’s account and licence data have been verified.

The service provides an added digital access point rather than a guarantee that a phone will always be ready. Users need sufficient battery power and an application that can be opened when they need to show the Digital SIM.

Verification Comes Before the Digital SIM Appears

Installing the application alone does not make the digital licence available. Users must register with a mobile number, create a PIN, complete their personal details, and verify their identity with an e-KTP.

The Digital Korlantas Polri application can be downloaded from Google Play Store or App Store. The Digital SIM becomes available only after registration is completed and the user’s information has been validated.

Registration step What users do
Download the application Install Digital Korlantas Polri from Google Play Store or App Store
Register an account Use a mobile number and create a PIN
Provide personal details Fill in identity information in the application
Verify identity Use an e-KTP until the data is validated

More Than a Digital Licence Display

The application also includes services connected to motorists and vehicle administration. One of them is SINAR, short for SIM Nasional Presisi, which supports online SIM renewal.

This gives the public an option to handle certain needs without visiting a Satpas. The platform also carries traffic information and vehicle administration services that are still being developed.

Traffic information Provides traffic-related information
Vehicle administration Offers administration features under continued development

The digital service is part of Korlantas Polri’s wider effort to modernise public services through technology. It is intended to make administrative processes faster, more efficient, and easier for the public to access.

Phone Readiness Remains Important

A Digital SIM can reduce reliance on a physical card stored in a wallet. However, it cannot be displayed immediately if the phone cannot be used or the application fails to open.

Users are therefore advised to keep their phone charged before travelling. The practical value of the service depends on being able to access the verified account at the moment it is needed.

Linggaupos.bacakoran.co reported the availability of the service as part of the ongoing modernisation of Korlantas Polri services. Registered users can access their SIM information on a phone while also using the application’s other available functions.
