JAKARTA - The Korlantas Polri has begun to distribute motorized vehicle number (TNKB) markings to Polda ranks. The implementation of the license plate policy with a white base is targeted for early June 2022.

"The TNKB material has been completed at this time, it is still in the production process, it is estimated that we can distribute the material to the ranks in early June," said Head of the STNK Sub-Directorate for Registration and Identification (Ditregident) of Korlantas Polri Kombes M Taslim Chairuddin in his statement, Tuesday, May 31.

"Later, in mid-June, the maximum use of the TNKB material, the white base color, with black writing, can already be used," he continued.

However, it is undeniable that in the early stages of implementation, not all vehicle owners will receive the new number plates.

This is because the National Police will prioritize vehicles that take care of the five-year tax extension. This method was chosen to simplify the transition process.

"The new registered vehicle will come to the office that requires the TNKB because the material already uses the new specifications, of course we will apply it, the five-year STNK extension for the TNKB will automatically expire," said Taslim.

The purpose of implementing the TNKB on a white basis is also to facilitate the implementation of Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) or Electronic Tickets, which have now begun to take effect.

The regulation for changing the new color of vehicle number plates is contained in Article 45 of Police Regulation Number 7 of 2021 concerning Registration and Identification of Motorized Vehicles.
