You can use an NFC with a smartphone," said the President Director of Korlantas Polri, Brigadier General Yusri Yunus to reporters, Thursday, January 26. Later, the form of the electronic BPKB will be more compact than before. In terms of size, it is said to resemble a passport. Then, the chip and NFC functions to find out the complete data of the vehicle owner. "Now there is technology here, there is a history of data vehicles from vehicles. Vehicles themselves, including from what vehicle was first here," he said. The BPKB change plan is to support data filing and administration processes, for example changing the name of vehicle ownership.
