Buying used cars through auctions is on the rise. The benefits include more competitive prices, a wider variety, and a more practical process, especially when purchasing via online auctions on the IBID website or app.

One of IBID’s advantages is that every car listed for auction has already been inspected by ACV (Astra Car Valuation) professionals. The inspection results are displayed transparently in the vehicle description.

This makes it easier for auction participants to assess the car’s condition objectively. They can also estimate a fair value for the car, eliminating the worry of buying a vehicle without proper information.

Once you win an auction, the next step is to manage the car’s documents as proof of ownership. Here’s a complete guide to handling car documents after winning an auction.

3 Steps to Manage Car Documents After Winning an Auction

1. Transfer of STNK (Vehicle Registration Certificate)

After winning the auction, you will receive an excerpt of the auction report (Kutipan Risalah Lelang). This serves as legal proof of ownership and can be used during the STNK transfer process. Required documents include:

• Original and a copy of BPKB (Vehicle Ownership Certificate)
• Original and a copy of STNK (Vehicle Registration Certificate)
• New owner’s ID card
• Purchase receipt with complete details (chassis number, engine number, color, and license plate)

Note: The STNK transfer process is the first step before transferring the BPKB.

Steps:

• Visit the Samsat (One-stop Vehicle Administrative System) office where the vehicle was originally registered
• Conduct a physical check of the vehicle (chassis & engine verification)
• Legalize the physical check results
• If the vehicle is from outside your domicile, request file withdrawal at the original Samsat
• Settle any outstanding taxes or fees
• Submit documents to the mutation section for issuance of a new STNK
• Pay the issuance fee and wait for the new STNK

2. Transfer of BPKB

Once the STNK transfer is complete, proceed to the Regional Police Office (Polda) to transfer the BPKB. Required documents include:

• New STNK
• Original and a copy of BPKB
• New owner’s ID card
• Purchase receipt
• Physical check verification results

Steps:

• Visit the Ditlantas (Traffic Directorate) at Polda (Regional Police)
• Submit all documents and complete the BPKB application form
• Pay the issuance fee through the designated bank
• Keep the receipt
• Collect the new BPKB on the scheduled date by presenting the original receipt

3. Estimated Costs

Here are the estimated fees for processing car documents. Costs may vary depending on the car’s type, year, and any outstanding obligations:

• SWDKLLJ: Rp143.000
• STNK issuance: Rp200.000
• License plate (TNKB): Rp100.000
• BPKB issuance: Rp375.000
• Mutation (different region): Rp250.000
• PKB & fines (if overdue): Adjusted to vehicle condition

Note: Used cars are not subject to BBNKB (New Vehicle Title Transfer Tax).
