It’s Easy! Here’s How to Get a Digital Driver’s License and Vehicle Registration by Phone

Having digital driver’s licenses and vehicle registration certificates certainly makes it much easier to store vehicle documents on your phone. This innovation also serves as a solution when drivers forget to bring their physical documents while traveling.

Drivers now have a more convenient option for accessing their driving documents. That’s because the Driver’s License (SIM) and Vehicle Registration (STNK) are now available in digital form.

Digital driver’s licenses and vehicle registration certificates are electronic representations—or “mirroring”—of valid physical documents and hold the same legal standing.

What Are Digital Driver’s Licenses and Digital Vehicle Registration Certificates?

Simply put, a digital driver’s license is an online version of the Driver’s License that can be accessed through the Digital Korlantas Polri app. This means drivers don’t need to worry if they leave their physical driver’s license behind or forget to bring it while driving.

The same applies to the digital vehicle registration certificate, which is an electronic representation of the Vehicle Registration Certificate containing all vehicle information registered with Korlantas Polri.

However, it’s important to understand that digital driver’s licenses and vehicle registration certificates are not merely photos in your phone’s gallery. Rather, they are digital documents that have been activated within the Digital Korlantas Polri app.

How to Create a Digital Vehicle Registration Certificate via Your Phone

Validating and creating a digital vehicle registration certificate is very easy to do in the SIGNAL app. Here are the steps.

Download the SIGNAL App: Install the SIGNAL (National Digital Samsat) app on your phone
Registration: Enter your National ID Number (NIK), name as it appears on your ID card, email, phone number, and verify your ID card photo and facial image
Add Vehicle Information: Enter the License Plate Number (NRKB) and the last 5 digits of the vehicle’s chassis number (for a vehicle owned by you or a family member listed on the same Family Card)
Validate the Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK): Select the registered vehicle, then click to submit the STNK validation request
Pay Vehicle Tax: Complete the payment of the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) using the payment code issued
E-TBPKP Issuance: Once the payment is verified, the Digital STNK and E-TBPKP (Proof of Payment Obligation) will be officially issued within the app.

How to Get a Digital Driver’s License via Smartphone

You can apply for and renew a digital driver’s license online through the Digital Korlantas Polri app. Here are the steps.

Download the Digital Korlantas Polri App: Install the Digital Korlantas Polri app from the Play Store or App Store
Identity Verification: Enter your phone number and email, then verify your National ID (NIK) and complete facial recognition (face recognition)
Select the SINAR Service: Go to the SINAR (National Precision Driver’s License) menu to apply for a new driver’s license or renewal
Medical & Psychological Tests: Take the medical exam online via the erikkes.id website and the psychological test via eppsi.id
Upload Photo & Signature Sample: Upload a passport-style photo with a blue background and a signature on white paper
Payment & Issuance: Pay the PNBP fee using a Virtual Account. The digital driver’s license will automatically activate in the app
Once the process is successful, the digital driver’s license will be active and appear in the app. The digital driver’s license includes a dynamic QR code to facilitate document authenticity verification by officers

How to Present Digital Driver’s Licenses and Vehicle Registration Certificates During Traffic Stops

During police checks or operations, drivers can open the Digital Korlantas Polri app to display their activated digital documents.

Select the driver’s license or vehicle registration certificate you wish to present, then show the document directly from the app to the officer. For digital driver’s licenses, officers can verify their authenticity by scanning the QR code provided.

Although this digital access offers convenience, drivers are still advised to carry their physical driver’s license and vehicle registration, especially since the implementation of digital driver’s licenses is still phased and not yet fully widespread.

Ensure Your Driver’s License & Vehicle Registration Are Always Active

A driver’s license and vehicle registration are mandatory documents that must always be carried while driving. Therefore, there is no longer any excuse for not being able to present them during a police checkpoint. Since both can now be presented in digital form.

This is especially true for a Class A driver’s license, which is a mandatory requirement when using self-drive car rental services. Make sure it’s always valid—don’t let it expire by missing the renewal deadline.

That way, you’ll have more freedom and peace of mind to take your family on vacation or just a short weekend trip. For added convenience, use TRAC’s car rental service.
