YOGYAKARTA - The Motor Vehicle Owner Book (BPKB) is an important document that must be handled after buying a motorcycle, both new and used. The BPKB serves as proof of legal ownership of the vehicle and is issued by the Traffic Unit (Satlantas) Polri. So, what is the mechanism for making a new motor BPKB? How long does the new motor BPKB come out? To find out, read the following article.

What is BPKB?

Quoted from the official website of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia (Polri), the BPKB is a book published by the Satlantas Polri as proof of ownership of motor vehicles. This book contains important information, including the identity of the owner, the number of the motor vehicle frame, the engine number, the color, and the year of manufacture.

Without a BPKB, the ownership status of a vehicle is considered incomplete administratively and difficult to sell or manage its financing.

BPKB is usually issued together with the STNK (Vehicle Number Plate Certificate) during vehicle registration and contains owner and vehicle data.

How is the Mechanism for Making New Motor BPKB?

Basically, the management of the new motor BPKB is usually handled directly by the dealer. Vehicle owners only need to prepare identity documents such as ID cards and motor purchase invoices.

However, if the motor BPKB is lost, the owner must handle the issuance of a new BPKB independently by fulfilling the requirements and procedures that have been set.

Here are some documents that need to be prepared to handle the new BPKB because the old documents are lost:

Original STNK and original KTP of the motor owner, equipped with photocopies of each document. A stamped loss statement made and signed by the vehicle owner according to the data on the BPKB. A certificate of loss from the local police as official proof that the BPKB is really lost. A certificate of free collateral, stating that the motorcycle is not being used as a loan guarantee at a financial institution. Proof of loss advertisement in the mass media, which has been published three times according to the provisions.

After all the requirements are ready, you can follow the following steps to get a new BPKB:

Come to the nearest Samsat office according to the domicile of the vehicle owner. Fill out the new BPKB issuance application form provided by the Samsat officer. Submit all the documents of the requirements that have been prepared in advance. Follow the process of physical inspection of the vehicle according to the applicable queue. Make payment of the administrative fee for the issuance of the new BPKB and keep the proof of payment. Wait for the BPKB issuance process, which generally takes about one month to complete.How Long Does a New Motor BPKB Take?

The process of issuing a motor vehicle registration certificate for a new motorcycle generally takes around 60 working days after the official STNK is issued. However, the length of time can vary, depending on the vehicle purchase system, whether it is done in cash or through credit.

For the purchase of a motorcycle in cash or cash, the question of how long the new motorcycle BPKB will come out will be answered immediately after the document is processed by the National Police Satlantas. This is because the BPKB immediately becomes the full ownership of the vehicle owner without intermediaries.

Meanwhile, for the purchase of a motorcycle on credit, the BPKB is not immediately handed over to the owner. The document will be stored by the leasing party or financing company as collateral until all installments are paid off. Therefore, motorcycle owners who buy on credit need to wait until the payment obligation is completed before the credit motorcycle BPKB can be taken.
