Before following the steps to register a Telkomsel card, there are several things that need to be prepared. Considering that prepaid user registration is a mandatory identity registration for new and existing users, you need to prepare a valid identification.

A valid identification is an identity recorded in the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration of the Republic of Indonesia. Some things that need to be prepared include:

1. For Indonesian citizens (WNI):

- E-KTP

- Family Card (KK)

The information needed from these requirements is the Population Identification Number consisting of 16 digits and the Family Card Number which also consists of 16 digits.

2. For Foreign citizens (WNA):

- Passport

- KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit Card)

- KITAS (Temporary Stay Permit Card)

The registration process for Telkomsel card for WNA is by visiting the service provider's outlet or partner and bringing the above requirements. The data needed by the officer includes name, passport/KITAS/KITAP number, nationality, and place and date of birth.

There are provisions for those of you who do not have an E-KTP. You can still register using the NIK listed on the KK. Well, if you don't have a KK, it means you can't register.

As mentioned above, this Telkomsel card registration method must be done by new and existing customers. However, there are some things to consider regarding the number of registrations for each person. The maximum number of registrations for new and existing customers is 3 (three) numbers.

Furthermore, if you experience problems with population data, please contact the Dukcapil Directorate General's customer service or visit www.dukcapil.kemendagri.go.id or call center 1500537 (during working days and hours).

In addition to visiting the store directly, you can also register via SMS. Register your prepaid card correctly and according to the population data that you have prepared beforehand. Here are the steps or procedures for registering a Telkomsel card:
