  • West Java residents can pay annual vehicle taxes through Samsat drive-through facilities without leaving their vehicles.
  • Services operate in multiple cities and regencies, including Bandung, Bogor, Bekasi, Ciamis, Cirebon and Subang.
  • Applicants need the vehicle owner’s or current holder’s electronic identity card and the original vehicle registration certificate, but not the original ownership book.

Residents in West Java can now pay their annual vehicle tax without getting out of their cars through the region’s Samsat drive-through services.

Facilities operate in several areas, including Ciamis, Purwakarta, Cibinong in Bogor Regency, Cikarang in Bekasi Regency, Haurgeulis in Indramayu, and Sumber and Ciledug in Cirebon Regency. Other locations include Cimahi, Leuwi Panjang Digital Terminal and Kawaluyaan in Bandung, Bekasi city, Subang, Majalengka, Soekarno Hatta in Bandung and Soreang in Bandung Regency.

Adi Komar, head of West Java’s Communications and Informatics Office, said the service was intended to give residents a simpler, faster and more practical way to meet their vehicle-tax obligations.

“To pay the annual vehicle tax at a Samsat Drive Thru, residents do not need to bring the original BPKB. They only need to prepare the electronic identity card of the vehicle’s owner or current holder and the vehicle’s original STNK,” Adi said.

Residents can obtain information through the Samsat Information Center at 150 410, via WhatsApp at 0811 2230 1818, or through the Curhat Samsat Jabar application. They can also visit a Pojok Samsat Kudu Bisa service point operating at 34 main Samsat offices across West Java.
