Design of Indonesian registration plate for private vehicles from 2000s[2] to April 2011.[1]
All motorized vehicles including motorcycles in Indonesia are required to have registration plates. The plates is required to be displayed in front and at the back of the vehicles. The issuing of the number plates is regulated and administered by the One-stop Administration Services Office (Indonesian: Sistem Administrasi Manunggal Satu Atap) or Samsat, which is a collaboration between Indonesian National Police, provincial offices of regional revenue, and the national mandatory vehicle insurance operator Jasa Raharja.
Registration plate design [edit]
Design convention [edit]
Measured at approximately 460 by 135 mm and constructed from stamped metal sheet. With some exception (see below), vehicle registration plate in Indonesia use the following format: LL NNNN LL where "L" are letters of the Latin alphabet, and "N" numbers from "0" to "9" (note that the first number is never a "0"). The first single or double letter prefixes denote the area of registration. This is followed by number between 1 and 9999 without leading zeroes. This is then followed by one or two letters although they may be optional. For example: B 1577 RKJ is a vehicle registered in Jakarta Timur region, because it begins with B. A smaller, four digit numbers separated by dot is located at the top (old format, with horizontal line as divider) or bottom (newer format, commonly without divider) of the plate with following format: NN・NN which denote the month and year of when the plate will expire (e.g. 06•27 means until June 2027), and the owner must pay the tax to renew it every five years.[ citation needed ]
A separate format exists for private vehicles belonging to government, military or police officials. Because most of these officials are based in Jakarta, Vehicles belonging to state officials use the "B" suffix which indicates the vehicle is from Jakarta, along with the 4 numbers which are assigned to the vehicle. However, the sub-area suffix is replaced with an "RF" suffix code indicating that the vehicle belongs to a state official, followed by another letter which indicates the type of state official which owns the vehicle.[ citation needed ]
- "RFS" - Vehicle registration code intended for civilian officials.
- "RFD" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian army officials.
- "RFL" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian navy officials.
- "RFU" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian air force officials.
- "RFP" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian police officials.
For example, "B 1703 RFS" indicates that the vehicle belongs to a civilian official, whilst "B 1148 RFP" indicates that the vehicle belongs to a police official.
Also in Jakarta, these codes are applied based on vehicle classes. These include:[ citation needed ]
- A – Code for Sedan/Pick Up
- D – Code for Truck
- F – Code for Minibus, Hatchback, City Car
- J – Code for Jeeps and SUVs
- Q – Code for government staff
- T – Code for Taxi
- U – Code for government staff
- V – Code for Minibus
For example, "B 2031 BAS" indicates that the vehicle is a sedan, whilst "B 8032 SFC" indicates that vehicle is a minibus.

Special plate designs [edit]
Military and police vehicles [edit]
Plate design for military and police vehicles
Military and police vehicles have their own colors and alphanumeric conventions, including their insignia and/or the rank of the officer owning the vehicle, especially for high-ranking officers. Army-personnel vehicles are yellow on green background, plus a yellow star on the top. Navy-personnel plate is yellow on light blue, plus a yellow anchor. Air Force-personnel plate is yellow on dark blue, plus a red and white air force roundel. Police plate is yellow on black. Personnel in Armed Forces Headquarters uses yellow numbers on red background plates. Slightly similar, Ministry of Defence vehicles also uses yellow on red plates, only replacing Armed Forces' insignia with the Ministry's insignia. This is also being implemented on other military vehicles, such as motorcycles, jeeps, trucks, tanks, etc.
Senior government officials [edit]
Vehicle registration plates belonging to senior government officials like the President or Vice President always begin with RI (which stands for "Republik Indonesia") and are followed by a number. For example, the president's registration plate is "RI-1", and the vice president's is "RI-2". Other senior officials such as government ministers, Chairman of The House of Representatives, Commander of The National Armed Forces and Chief of National Police also share the same convention and get the numbers after the President and Vice President. These plates are used for everyday activities, so they are white on black design.
In a special case, there are some very special numbers which are "INDONESIA 1" and "INDONESIA 2" for the President and Vice President, respectively. These numbers are used for a ceremonial purposes, such as presidential/vice presidential inaugurations, national day ceremonies and armed forces day. On the inauguration day, at the time the new president/vice president take the oath, the plates are moved from the former presidential/vice presidential cars to the new car. These numbers also being used for all ceremonial presidential/vice presidential cars, no matters what the type of the vehicles used, and being white on red design.
Foreign countries or international organizations [edit]

Registration plates for vehicles belonging to foreign countries or international organizations adopt a different convention. They have black letters on a white background.
The plates have the letter CD followed by two or three digits denoting the country or organization, followed by up to three digits of the serial number. For example, a car with number CD 66 88 is owned by Vietnam. Generally, the number 01 is reserved for the ambassador's official vehicle.
The numbers are ordered based on when they recognized Indonesia as a country. The United States was originally assigned CD 13; due to the stigma associated with the number 13, they asked the Indian delegation to exchange numbers.

Vanity plates [edit]
An example of a vanity plate in Indonesia
A few vehicle owners pay an extra amount of money to get a certain plate as their desire. Because the convention is not flexible to include a full word, people try creative uses of numbers and letters. For example, Idris Sardi, a violin player, uses ( B 10 LA ) for his vehicle. It is a play on the word BIOLA which means "violin" in Indonesian. Leoni, a famous actress and singer, uses L 30 NI for her car. Even the former President Megawati Soekarnoputri chooses "M 3 GA" for her personal vehicle, as the plate resembles her broadly-known nickname. Edhie Bhaskoro Yudhoyono, former President Yudhoyono's younger son, has "B 24 EB", which "EB" is being his name initial. With the new format of three suffix alphabets, many vanity or personal registration plates are possible to be created. For example, a Toyota Fortuner owner may choose the plate B 42 NER which sounds like B four-two-NER. Syahrini, an Indonesian singer, has "B 1 SYR" as her registration plate number, with "SYR" being her initials.
