Used Vehicle Title Transfers Now Free in Indonesia

Jakarta – The process of renaming a used vehicle is now more economical.Transfer of title fees (BBN) for used vehicles are now waived.

In 2026, used vehicle buyers will save money on processing the title of their vehicle. This new process eliminates the need to borrow the previous owner’s ID card (KTP) to renew the vehicle registration certificate (STNK) for a used vehicle.

Previously, extending the STNK required an ID card whose name matched the data on the STNK. This presented a challenge for used vehicle buyers, as they had to borrow the previous owner’s KTP for the renewal process.

For used vehicle buyers, this KTP requirement was a notable obstacle. The required KTP had to belong to the previous owner and match the data on the STNK. Often, the previous owner was reluctant to provide their KTP.
