JAKARTA - The National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, has issued an order regarding the exam for making a driver's license (SIM). Later, people who fail or do not pass can repeat the exam on the same day.

The directive was contained in a telegram numbered ST/2386/X/YAN.1.1./2022, dated October 31, 2022, which was signed by the National Police Headquarters Inspector General Firman Shantyabudi on behalf of the National Police Chief.

"For participants who are declared not to have passed the SIM issuance exam, they can immediately take the re-examination on the same day or within 14 working days from the date they are declared not to have passed," the National Police Chief's directive points in a telegram quoted by VOI, Wednesday, November 2.

However, the re-examination opportunity was only given once. This means that each participant has two chances.

Then, in the ST and even then there is an order for the Administrative Organizing Unit (Satpas) to prepare training for prospective participants. Alright, new participants will take the exam and have failed.

Not only that, but the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo also issued a telegram with the number ST/2387/X/YAN.1.1./2022, dated October 31, 2022. The contents are about avoiding illegal levies (extortion).

In the telegram, all personnel were ordered not to charge any fees for SIM issuance services, except for SIM PNBP fees.

This is because SIM PNBP fees are indeed regulated in Government Regulation Number 76 of 2020 concerning Types and Tariffs for Types of Non-Tax State Revenue that apply to the National Police.

Meanwhile, the cost of issuing a new SIM class A, A General, B I, B I General, B II and B II General is IDR 120,000. Meanwhile, the issuance of new SIM class C, C I and C II is IDR 100,000.

Then, the issuance of a new SIM class D and D I is IDR 50,000. Issuance of a new International SIM IDR 250,000. Issuance of extended SIM A, A General, B I, BI General, B II, B II General, namely, IDR 80,000.

Then, the issuance of the extension of SIM C, C I, CII, namely, IDR 75,000. Renewal of SIM D and D I IDR 30,000. And the issuance of an International SIM extension of IDR 225,000.

Still in this telegram, the next directive is that the implementation of physical and spiritual health (psychological) examinations for prospective SIM test participants is outside the mechanism for issuing SIMs and is carried out outside the Satpas Building area.

"Prospective SIM exam participants can choose their own doctors and psychologists who have received recommendations according to the provisions," the telegram wrote.
