Payments for various products can now be completed easily through QR codes. This method helps track transaction history and supports better personal financial management. Aside from functioning as a payment method, barcodes are now also used as mandatory requirements for certain product transactions.
Registering for a Pertamina barcode has now become a mandatory requirement for purchasing subsidized Pertalite and Solar. The process is quite simple as long as you understand the steps and prepare the required documents.
This guide will help you understand the purpose of the registration, the complete requirements for each type of vehicle, how to register for a Pertamina barcode, and how to check your registration status. With this, you can use subsidized fuel without problems at the gas station.
Why Do You Need to Register for a Pertamina Barcode?
The Pertamina barcode is the official method used to regulate the distribution of subsidized fuel to ensure it is delivered to the right recipients. This system helps ensure the purchase of Pertalite and Solar adheres to regulations so that there is no stockpiling or misuse of quotas.
Once registered, transactions at SPBU become faster because the operator only needs to scan your barcode. Conversely, if you do not have a barcode, you may not be able to purchase Pertalite at the fuel station.
Can All Vehicles Register?
In reality, not all vehicles can register for the subsidy barcode. The barcode is only granted to vehicles included in the category of subsidized fuel recipients. Private vehicles, commercial vehicles, and non-vehicle machinery must all meet specified criteria and provide complete documents.
For Pertalite registration, the quota applies only to vehicles up to 1,400 cc. Meanwhile, for subsidized Solar, the limit is up to 2,000 cc for both private and commercial vehicles.
If your vehicle’s engine capacity exceeds these limits, your registration for that type of fuel will most likely not be approved.
