Guys, I have a question for those who have bought a used car before. If I want to transfer ownership but no longer have the previous owner’s ID card (KTP), or they’re difficult to contact, can the process still go ahead? What documents do I need to prepare? If anyone has experienced this, I’d appreciate it if you could share your experience. 😭
Yes, you can still process the balik nama without the previous owner's KTP in most cases. As long as you have the original BPKB, STNK, purchase receipt (kwitansi jual beli), and your own KTP, you should be fine. You'll also need to do a physical inspection (cek fisik) at Samsat. The requirements can vary slightly depending on the region, so I'd recommend checking with your local Samsat first. The important thing is making sure the BPKB and STNK are valid and match the vehicle. Honestly, not having the previous owner's KTP is pretty common when buying used cars, especially from dealers or second-hand owners.
