allnew-kia.com – Here’s How to Differentiate a Genuine or Fake SIM – Based on information from the Indonesian National Police, a Driving License (SIM) is proof of registration and identification given by the Indonesian National Police to someone who has successfully fulfilled the requirements.
The requirements set are completing the administrative process, being physically and mentally healthy, understanding traffic regulations, and having skills in driving motor vehicles.
The regulations regarding SIM ownership are regulated in Article 18 (1) of Law No. 14 of 1992 concerning Traffic and Public Transportation.
In which case, the Law explains that every motor vehicle driver is required to have a Driving License (SIM).
You can renew your original SIM that is about to expire at the mobile SIM service in your city.
However, the problem that occurs is that many motor vehicle drivers have fake Driving Licenses (SIM).
Here’s How to Differentiate a Genuine or Fake SIM
The legality of a driving license is often misused by irresponsible individuals, such as identity theft, embezzlement, or to avoid raids or fines.
However, to distinguish whether the SIM is real or fake, there are several ways you can do. Here is the correct way to distinguish between a real and fake SIM:
-
Use the Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps Digital application
You need to know that the Digital Korlantas Polri application is not only useful for registering or extending the validity period of a driving license.
You can also use one of the features in this application to find out whether a Class C or Class A SIM is genuine or fake.
The Korlantas Polri Digital Application will validate the inputted data with the Korlantas Polri archives. If there is a match in the data, then the SIM is genuine.
However, on the other hand, if the data validation results carried out by the application do not find any matching data, then it can be ascertained that the SIM is fake.
-
Check the Polri hologram
Both Class C SIM, Class C SIM, and other SIMs issued by the Police have a gold-colored hologram symbol which is quite distinctive and will reflect light at the tip of the symbol.
This Polri hologram logo is a form of validity stating that the SIM is genuine.
However, on the other hand, a fake SIM will only display the Polri logo without any light reflection or reflective features like a genuine SIM.
If it is found that the driving license is fake, then the driving license cannot be used as a supporting document to pay vehicle tax .
-
Pay attention to the words “Indonesian National Police”
To differentiate between a genuine and fake SIM, you can pay attention to the words “Indonesian National Police” on the SIM.
Both genuine and fake SIM cards have this writing, but to differentiate between the two, you can look at the quality of the writing.
On the original SIM, the writing has a fairly clear appearance and is very clear to read. Meanwhile, on the fake SIM C, the writing has poor quality.
The words “Indonesian National Police” look faded or not sharp enough, making it unpleasant to read.
-
Check the driver’s photo background
The background of the photo on a motor vehicle driving license is designed in such a way as to be a valid proof of the driving license or to be a sign that the driving license is genuine.
If you check and pay more attention, the background of the driver’s photo on the original SIM has the Polri symbol. In addition, the photo results on the original SIM are neater and quite detailed.
In contrast to fake driving licenses, the driver’s photo on the fake driving license does not have a background with the National Police symbol and the photo results are not neat.
