As of 2025, the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI) has officially restructured its certification authority. The former SDPPI (Directorate General of Post and Telecommunication Devices) has now transitioned into the DJID (Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure).
If you manufacture, import, or sell GPS tracker devices in Indonesia, you are legally required to obtain SDPPI (Postel) certification issued by the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID) under KOMDIGI – the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs. This regulation is part of the government’s efforts to control and ensure all telecommunication equipment meets national technical standards. What Is a GPS Tracker? GPS Tracker is an electronic device that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to track and monitor the real-time location of an object. Common Uses of GPS Trackers: Why Is SDPPI (DJID) Certification Mandatory? GPS Trackers typically include wireless communication modules such as: GSM / 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. These modules transmit radio frequency (RF) signals, which legally classifies the device as a telecommunication device under Indonesian law. As a result, certification from SDPPI is mandatory before distribution or use in the country. Applicable Regulations for GPS Tracker Certification Importers, manufacturers, or distributors of GPS Trackers must comply with several KOMDIGI regulations: Regulation Scope KEPMEN KOMDIGI No. 12/2025 Wi-Fi usage in GPS devices KEPMEN KOMDIGI No. 352/2024 4G LTE & 5G module certification KEPMEN KOMDIGI No. 45/2025 GSM & WCDMA usage KEPMEN KOMDIGI No. 260/2024 Bluetooth usage Each module in the GPS tracker (e.g., Wi-Fi, GSM, Bluetooth) must be individually certified to ensure total compliance.

Modern car head units are no longer just radios. Most now come equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and even 4G/5G connectivity. In Indonesia, any head unit with wireless features must obtain a certification from SDPPI/DJID, issued by the Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI).
in 2025, all applications for SDPPI Postel certification under DJID KOMDIGI must include a Firmware Declaration Letter and a Declaration of Conformity Letter to certify RLAN devices (such as Access Points, Wireless Routers, etc.) operating on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz.
The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI) has officially issued Ministerial Decree (KM) No. 46 of 2025, which establishes new technical standards for Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) devices.
Indonesia adopted new regulations regarding the use of additional frequency bands for Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) technology, including WiFi 6E (IEEE 802.11ax).
The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) has issued Regulation No. 2 of 2025, revising the previous Ministerial Regulation No. 2 of 2023 regarding the use of radio frequency spectrum based on a class license.
Cerapproval provides Indonesia’s Type Approval services, including DJID / SDPPI Certification issued by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) and SNI Certification Type Approval by the Ministry of Industry (KEMENPERIN).
The rapid digital transformation in Indonesia has led to the emergence of various telecommunications devices in the market. To simplify processes and advance the domestic telecommunications industry, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo), through the Directorate General of Resources and Equipment of Post and Informatics (Ditjen SDPPI), is collaborating with South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) to establish mutual recognition of telecommunications device test results. Advancing the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) Between Indonesia and South Korea From September 23 to 27, 2024, the Directorate of PPI Standardization conducted a working visit to Seoul. The visit focused on follow-up meetings with South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency (RRA) to discuss strategic steps toward implementing the Indonesia-South Korea MRA, which is scheduled to commence in May 2025. The meetings were led by Mulyadi, Director of PPI Standardization, and supported by key figures, including Nur Akbar Said (Head of Cooperation on Standards and IMEI Management), Umar Wicaksono (MRA Coordinator), Hetty (Coordinator for Foreign Test Lab Recognition), and Fery Andriyanto (IMEI Management Coordinator). Key Goals of the MRA Agreement Mulyadi explained that the MRA aims to recognize Foreign Testing Labs (BULN) and their test reports. “This initiative seeks to strengthen and advance the domestic telecommunications testing industry by ensuring the acceptance of Local Testing Lab (BUDN) test reports for certification in other countries. It also aims to create equivalence in testing capabilities between BUDN and BULN,” said Mulyadi on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. Confidence Building and Knowledge Sharing One of the essential steps toward MRA implementation is building mutual confidence between Indonesia and South Korea. This involves sharing information about technical standards, regulations, policies, and conducting comparison tests between the two countries. This collaboration follows the Letter of Intent signed by the Director General of SDPPI and the Director General of RRA in Bali on March 7, 2024. Additionally, the Phase I MRA Agreement for recognizing BULN and test reports for telecommunications device certification was signed in Jakarta on May 27, 2024, by Indonesia’s Vice Minister of Kominfo and South Korea’s Vice Minister of MSIT. Upcoming Training and Workshops During the meeting with RRA, both parties reviewed and discussed the draft training and knowledge-sharing programs. It was agreed that online training sessions will take place by the end of 2024, followed by in-person workshops in 2025. “These programs are expected to enhance understanding and skills related to the testing standards required by each country. Furthermore, they aim to ensure testing quality through inter-laboratory comparison tests and Post-Market Surveillance activities,” Mulyadi added. Timeline for Testing Lab Evaluation The evaluation process for recognizing testing labs from both countries is planned for April 2025. The final approval will be granted by the Director General of SDPPI and the Director General of RRA. This collaboration is anticipated to not only benefit the telecommunications industries of both countries but also pave the way for smoother certification processes, improved testing standards, and stronger bilateral ties in the field of digital innovation.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital is drafting new regulations that will amend the existing Ministerial Regulation No. 2 of 2023 regarding the use of radio frequency spectrum based on class licenses. These changes are intended to align with the latest technological advancements and operational requirements.
