Indonesian Police Deny Door-to-Door Vehicle Document Checks

Indonesian police have denied plans to conduct door-to-door checks of vehicle documents and credit disputes in late September 2026, according to a fact-check by Tempo. Senior Commissioner Turmudi of the National Police Traffic Corps confirmed no such policy exists. Existing regulations only permit vehicle inspections on public roads, not private property, with traffic violations handled via mailed confirmation letters. The false claims circulated on Facebook, Threads, and Instagram, featuring a poster about police and credit firms visiting homes. Tempo verified the information through interviews and credible sources, concluding the narrative is false.
