RI DRIVER'S LICENSES FULLY RECOGNIZED IN A'LIA
Brisbane, Oct 18 (ANTARA) - Holders of Indonesian driver's licences (SIMs) in Australia can relax and feel more confident when driving a car because the SIMs are fully recognized by the local police now, an Indonesian official said.
"SIMs are fully recognized in Australia," first secretary (information) at the Indonesian embassy in Canberra Meri Binsar Simorangkir said here Saturday when the embassy was giving immigration and consular services to hundreds of Indonesian citizens in Brisbane.
For SIM holders who don't want to be troubled by the need to explain the content of their licenses to local police officers when they are stopped in the street, the embassy was providing a service to translate the SIMs' content.
"The translation functions as a complement to strengthen our SIMs' legality here. For each SIM translation, we charge AUS$ 25," Simorangkir said.
Australian recognition of Indonesian driver's licences was previously also mentioned by the National Police's representative at the Indonesian embassy, Senior Commissioner Hasan Malik, at a coordination meeting between the Indonesian embassy and members of the Indonesian Students Union in Australia (PPIA) last October 13, 2008.
