I need to renew my SKLD (police registration). Can anyone tell me where to go exactly and what documents you need to show?

Immigration in Singaraja said I need to do it in Denpasar.
 
I had experience doing this for the boss while back in Jakarta
Back in Jakarta then the procedure is :

Ask for to the POA section (Pengawasan Orang Asing-> Foreigner Control maybe in English)
-your original SKLD
-copies of KITAS/KITAP and Pasport for submission and the originals only for checking
-Sponsor Letter
-IMTA if you are working
-Copy of your blue book (foreigners registration)
-4x6 cm photos with red background bring extras for emergency

But maybe the Bali police had any additional documents, just bring your personal documents in case it is needed, it would be a disaster if the officer ask for a document and you have to travel back to Singaraja for it.

You'll received a proof that you have submit your application and it is enough while waiting for your renew SKLD sent from the Police headquarters in Jakarta

FYI: its the procedure in Jakarta 2 or 3 years ago
 
Thanks for your reply. If anyone has done it recently in Denpasar, I would be happy to hear their experience.
 
That is just what immigration told us when we picked up my passport. I will check with the police here then.
 
The agent who did my retirement visa said the SKLD is no longer required. Mine is out of date.
Another forum concerning Indonesian Expats has many threads confirming this, although seems some polda aren't aware.
 
Oh really? I spoke to a friend here on spouse KITAS and she doesn't have one and I was thinking of not bothering and then I read on the expat.or.id website that there are hefty fines if you get caught not having one.

I guess this is the thread you are talking about: SKLD is it still required?

There were quite a few other people applying for the SKLD when we went.

This is from expat.or.id:

This is a Surat Keterangan Lapor Diri which is Police ID card that any foreigner who has a residency permit (ijin tinggal) is supposed to have. It dispenses you for example to have to carry your passport at all times. Foreigners with KITAP/KITAP are supposed to report in the 30 days of issuance of their Residency Permit and have 7 days to report any change (Pasal 19, ayat 1 dan ayat 2, Peraturan pemerintah nomor 31 tahun 1994 tentang Pengawasan Orang Asing). Reporting to the police as soon as you get your "Ijin Tinggal" would entitle you to nice plastic SKLD card (Pasal 19, ayat 3, Peraturan Pemerintah nomor 31 tahun 1994 tentang Pengawasan orang Asing). The actual regulations read - Pasal 61 - Undang Undang nomor 9 tahun 1992 - Orang asing yang sudah mempunyai izin tinggal yang tidak melapor kepada kantor Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia di tempat tinggal atau tempat kediamannya dalam waktu 30 (tiga puluh) hari terhitung sejak diperolehnya izin tinggal, dipidana dengan pidana kurungan paling lama 1 (satu) tahun atau denda paling banyak Rp 5.000.000,- (lima juta rupiah).

The fines and punishments (as per UU9/1992) were removed by UU6/2011 and, as I was led to believe by my very experienced agent, so was the requirement for the SKLD. I've since heard that the police are loath to lose their revenue, so who knows what tricks they can try.
My agent says if the police interfere just refer them to him. He is my sponsor, after all, and I presume that's why he charges so much for my Retirement Visa.
 
Gosh wouldn't it be nice to have a tame Balinese/Indo lawyer on retainer, for instance paid by donations to the Balipod, that could look into shit like this for the richest bunch of Mother-fu**ers on this island?

Just a thought....

Have a nice day:greedy_dollars:

Thanks Davita. I went through some of threads and found this which makes it clear (kind of): Conversion of an ITAS sponsored by an Indonesian spouse in an ITAP. UU 6/2011 - Page 36

Thanks for the search result spicyayam...it has given me confidence that my agent is correct.

The post you refer was made by Atlantis whom I know personally. Although he doesn't practice Indonesian law, his legal knowledge and ability in language has been very helpful to many expats struggling with visa and other legal matters.
