To speed up the resolution of the Covid-19 pandemic, In recent months, the government has increasingly aggressively promoted vaccination programs for all Indonesian people. In fact, now a vaccine certificate is a mandatory requirement for carrying out various activities in public places, one of them is taking care of a driver's license. Is it true that the condition for renewing a driver's license must be a vaccine??
Some time ago there was an appeal in the community stating that one of the conditions for applying for a driver's license extension is that you must include a certificate of vaccine results..
Although the purpose is for the good of the community as well, many people object, especially for those who have not been vaccinated. Especially, The SIM processing process is usually needed quickly so there is no time to look for vaccines first.
This appeal was issued by one of the police stations, but because it was spread on social media, Finally, many people believe that this appeal also applies throughout Indonesia.
To prevent misunderstandings, Korlantas Polri finally explained that this was only a police policy in certain areas and did not necessarily apply in all areas..
One of the police stations that issued this appeal is the Indragiri Hilir Police, Riau Province. They collaborated with the Regional Government to create a policy for residents who want to take care of something with their police to show proof of vaccine, including processing SIM and SKCK. This was conveyed directly by the Indragiri Hilir Police Chief, AKBP Dian Setyawan.
Apart from that, there are also police stations in other areas that implement the same policy, namely the East Kotawaringin Police in Central Kalimantan Province. The policy of making a vaccine certificate a requirement for obtaining a driver's license and SKCK does not appear to be final and there is still the possibility of changes depending on the results of vaccination implementation in the community..
Meanwhile, for news regarding the requirements for extending a driver's license, the vaccine must be valid throughout Indonesia, this is not true. Head of the Police Traffic Corps SIM Sub-Directorate, Commissioner Djati Utomo, said that the news regarding the requirements for obtaining a SIM has not yet been implemented nationally, and the policies depend on each region.
