You can request one at the office of the village head or Banjar. Present a copy of your passport, residency permit (KITAS or KITAP), police report, rental agreement, and, if applicable, your sponsor’s Indonesian ID Card. Need assistance getting a Domicile Letter?

FAQ
What are the uses of a Domicile Letter?
As a foreign national in Indonesia, obtaining a Domicile Letter is crucial for several administrative tasks. You’ll need it to extend your KITAS or KITAP, update your residential address on immigration documents, or apply for a Certificate of Residence (SKTT), which is frequently required for local registrations. This letter acts as verification of your current address and is issued by the local village office (Kelurahan) or district office (Kecamatan) in your area.
Is a Domicile Letter the same as a Residency Certificate (SKTT)?
No, a Domicile Letter is different from a Residency Certificate. A Domicile Letter confirms your residential address, while a Residency Certificate confirms your legal residency. You request a Domicile Letter from the Banjar Office and a Residency Certificate from the Population and Civil Registration Office. A Domicile Letter is a requirement for getting a Residency Certificate.
