Understanding the e-Tilang System, How to Check and Pay?

Motor vehicle riders in Indonesia must continuously follow the developments of the regulations in place, including the modern system that has recently been implemented by the police. This system is called e-Tilang, which aims to improve order among riders on the road without the need for officers on the ground.

In general, the implementation of this monitoring system will rely on devices called ETLE Cameras, or electronic traffic law enforcement cameras. These cameras are placed at many strategic points in various areas, acting as the 'eyes' of the police in monitoring traffic order.

If a violation is detected by the camera, the data obtained will be automatically recorded and become evidence of the violation. This data will be sent to the vehicle owner to request accountability according to the applicable procedure, making the system regarded as a modern, transparent, and accurate ticketing process.

Understanding More About e-Tilang

The working method used is more or less as explained in the introduction. Cameras will monitor certain road sections and record every activity of road users within their view.

If a violation occurs, the recording evidence will be automatically sent to the authorities for processing, and then sent to the offender whose name is registered according to the vehicle's license plate.

The subsequent legal process will follow applicable regulations, resulting in a more transparent, practical, and effective process.

Furthermore, the detailed explanation regarding the mechanism of the e-Tilang system is as follows.

1. Capture/Recording of Violations

ETLE cameras will be installed in strategic locations to obtain a wide view of the highway area. These cameras are designed with technology that can automatically detect various violations, such as not wearing seat belts, using mobile phones while driving, running red lights, exceeding speed limits, not wearing helmets for motorcyclists, violating road markings, and lacking appropriate license plates.

The system will immediately analyze the images and videos obtained, and identify the violations that occur.

2. Vehicle Data Identification Proces

The stage continues with matching the recorded vehicle data with the database owned by the Korlantas Polri. The vehicle registration number or plate number, type of vehicle, and ownership will be verified automatically.

If there is a discrepancy, the registered owner will still receive a ticket notification related to the vehicle. This is why it is important for you to continuously update your ownership data and you are required to immediately transfer the name if there is a sale of the vehicle to another party.

3. Confirmation Letter

After the identification is complete, you or the registered vehicle owner will receive a traffic violation confirmation letter. This letter is sent to the address registered in the system and contains complete data related to the violation committed.

The data includes:

Type of violation
Location and time of the incident
Evidence of the violation
Fine that must be paid
Deadline for confirming the violation

4. Fourth Stage, Confirmation of Traffic Ticket Letter

After you receive the traffic ticket letter, you are required to confirm it within the specified time frame. You can confirm it through the official ETLE website or by going to the designated police station.

The confirmation involves:

Acknowledging the violation and following the fine payment procedure
Filing an objection if you believe you did not commit the violation by bringing supporting evidence to the police station.

If this confirmation is not carried out, the vehicle's registration certificate (STNK) can be blocked until the traffic fine is paid. Quite scary, right?

5. Make the Payment

After the confirmation is done, you can pay the fine using the provided methods. You can use a bank transfer (with the BRIVA code given), a government-approved e-wallet application, or go directly to the designated bank.

After the payment is completed, the system will automatically update the violation status. You or the vehicle owner will not face further sanctions, and the violation is considered resolved.

How to Check e-Ticket Status

Although the letter should ideally be sent directly to the registered address, it is possible that there may be delivery issues. Therefore, to ensure the status of the electronic ticket you have experienced, you can check it online.

This check can be done on the official ETLE site, at https://etle-pmj.info/ .

The steps are as follows:

Visit the official site above or a site designated by the Korlantas Polri
Click the Check Vehicle option on the homepage
Enter the vehicle's license plate number, engine number, and chassis number in the search bar
Click the Continue button to see if the vehicle you own has received an e-Ticket or not
If the vehicle is recorded as having violated, the system will display detailed information complete with photo or video evidence of the violation that occurred.

Checking can also be done using the e-Tilang application available for Android and iOS devices, in the same way as the steps above. The difference is that you must first download the e-Tilang application on the device you are using.

Easy and practical, right?

Details on Payment Methods and the Amount of e-Tilang Fines

There are several methods you can use when you want to pay the e-Tilang fines that are your responsibility.

First, with the Official e-Tilang Site of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia. Quoted directly from its official site at https://tilang.kejaksaan.go.id/ , the procedure for making electronic traffic ticket fines payment is as follows:

View the judgment of fines and case costs for traffic violations, enter the traffic violation register number as per the document and recheck the judgment data
Ensure that the register number and the customer name are correct
Choose the method of retrieving evidence, either come in person or use the available evidence delivery service (terms and conditions apply)
Click PAY
Make the payment with the available payment code
The payment code to the state treasury through the state treasury receipt module or MPN. This code can be used on the available payment channels
Collect the evidence at the prosecutor's office or use POS Indonesia's service to send the evidence
After the payment is completed, the violation you committed will also be closed.

Remember, you can choose the payment method to be used. Each selected payment method can utilize the payment code provided officially by that system.

Second, Through Banking Applications

The second method can also be carried out with the following steps:

Use the banking application you have, such as BRImo, OCTO Mobile, and so on.
Enter the payment code found in the ticket letter.
The payment code can also be obtained from the official website of the prosecutor's office.
Make the payment according to the amount stated.

Keep the payment receipt to show to the prosecutor as proof that you have fulfilled the traffic ticket obligation.

The Penalty Amount that Must be Paid for Each Violation

Each violation committed has a different fine, according to the prevailing rules.

As an illustration, the fines imposed for recorded violations are as follows:

Using a mobile phone while driving, maximum fine of Rp750,000
Not wearing a seatbelt, fine of Rp250,000
Violating road markings and traffic signs, maximum fine of Rp500,000
Riding a motorcycle without wearing a helmet, maximum fine of Rp250,000
Motor vehicles using fake license plates, maximum fine of Rp500,000
Not turning on daytime running lights for motorcycles, maximum fine of Rp100,000
Violating speed limits, maximum fine of Rp500,000
Driving against the flow of traffic, maximum fine of Rp500,000
Carrying more than two passengers on a motorcycle, maximum fine of Rp250,000

Confirmation of the letter sent should ideally be given a period of up to 8 days. So you have enough time to resolve this matter before facing the next related penalty.

Advancements for the Traffic System in Indonesia

Essentially, the implementation of this e-Ticketing system represents an advancement for the world of traffic in Indonesia. This is because, with this system, there will no longer be actions from law enforcement officers that are carried out without strict system oversight, and illegal charges can be minimized to the lowest point.

Of course, if you are a law-abiding driver, this will not be a problem because you are essentially accustomed to obeying all the applicable rules.

Traffic order is one of the keys to safety on the road. Both vehicles and you as a driver and/or passenger must comply with all driving regulations provided by the police.
