JAKARTA - Type Test Registration Certificate (SRUT) is a birth certificate for every motorized vehicle so it is important for consumers to ask for a SRUT when buying a motorized vehicle.

"SRUT is the main requirement for KIR for the first time," said Head of the Motor Vehicle Type Test Sub-Directorate of the Directorate General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation Dewanto Purnacandra quoted from ANTARA, Friday, April 7.

The regulations that oversee the registration and identification of motorized vehicles are Law No. 22 of 2009 Traffic and Road Transportation Article 66 concerning Registration and Identification Requirements for Motorized Vehicles.

The law explains that vehicles must meet the requirements in the form of having a Type Test Registration Certificate, having valid Motor Vehicle Ownership Evidence, and having the results of physical checking of motorized vehicles.

In addition, Ministerial Regulation 33 of 2018 concerning Motor Vehicle Type Testing Article 68 states that SRUT is one of the requirements to register and identify motorized vehicles for the first time in order to obtain a Motor Vehicle Ownership Book (BPKB), Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK), and Motor Vehicle Number Signature (TNKB).

Dewanto said, there are several ways to check the authenticity of the SRUT. First, checking the validity for caroseri production can be done by entering the SRUT number on the depth page.

Second, the public can take advantage of scanning barcodes through applications on Android or IOS. Meanwhile, checking the SRUT for the production of Brand Holder Agents (APM) and general importers can be done by scanning the bar code via the Android or IOS application.

In addition to the SRUT, the Ministry of Transportation also conducts socialization related to the Type Test Certificate (SUT) which is an obligation for every commercial vehicle.

"If the complete commercial vehicle can immediately apply for a SUT, then then go to the SRUT," he explained.

Dewanto added that currently the Ministry of Transportation is intensively implementing the SRUT Electronic Program (E-SRUT) which aims to accelerate SRUT issuance services so that APM or dealers can print them anywhere.

"printed using plain paper or can be a QR Code disc. Of course this facilitates and speeds up publishing services. In addition, E-SRUT is integrated with Korlantas, and prioritizes efficiency in warehouse and distribution costs, as well as faster services," said Dewanto.
