jatim.jpnn.com, SURABAYA – The Traffic Unit of the Surabaya City Police (Sat Lantas Polrestabes Surabaya) is offering convenient mobile SIM services, known as “SIM Keliling,” and a specialized “SIM Cak Bhabin” program to assist residents with their driving license renewal needs. This initiative aims to streamline the renewal process and make it more accessible for Surabaya citizens.
From April 14-18, 2026, the Surabaya mobile SIM service will be available at two primary locations, catering to various sub-districts. One service point will be located at SWK Jambangan, serving residents from the sub-districts of Gayungan, Jambangan, Wonokromo, Sawahan, Sukomanunggal, Karang Pilang, and Wiyung. Concurrently, another mobile SIM station will operate in Kecamatan Sambikerep Lakarsantri, specifically for residents residing in the Lakarsantri, Benowo, Tandes, and Pakal sub-districts. These services will run from 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM WIB at both designated locations.
To be eligible for a driving license, applicants must be at least 17 years old. For the renewal process, several essential administrative documents must be prepared. These include a valid original local Identity Card (KTP) for Indonesian citizens, or appropriate immigration documents for foreign nationals. Additionally, applicants need to provide a Physical Health Certificate from a doctor and a Mental Health Certificate issued by a Psychology Bureau.
Furthermore, applicants seeking a driving license renewal must present their old driving license. For those applying for a SIM class conversion, a Simulator Skill Test Pass Certificate is mandatory. Crucially, all applicants are now also required to show proof of active participation in the National Health Insurance (JKN) program. It is highly recommended that residents needing to renew their SIM do so up to seven days (H-7) before its expiration date. Arriving early is also advised to avoid potentially long queues and ensure a smooth process. It is important to note that a driving license that has passed its validity period is considered invalid, requiring applicants to undergo the full new issuance procedure rather than a simple renewal.
The cost for driving license renewal in Surabaya is set at an affordable rate. Renewing a SIM C will cost Rp75,000, while the renewal fee for a SIM A is Rp80,000. These convenient mobile services underscore the commitment of the Surabaya Traffic Police to providing efficient and accessible public services for all motorists. (mcr12/jpnn)
