State Servants A separate format exists for private vehicles belonging to government, military or police officials. Because most of these agencies are based in Jakarta, vehicles belonging to state officials use the "B" suffix, along with the four numbers that are assigned to the vehicle. The sub-area suffix is replaced with RF suffix code, indicating the vehicle belongs to a state official, followed by another letter that indicates the type of state official who owns the vehicle. "RFS" - Vehicle registration code intended for civil officials. "RFO", "RFH", and "RFQ" suffixes are intended for civil officials under the Echelon 2 rank role. "RFD" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian Army officials. "RFL" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian Navy officials. "RFU" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian Air Force officials. "RFP" - Vehicle registration code intended for Indonesian National Police officials. For example, "B 1703 RFS" indicates that the vehicle belongs to a civilian official, whilst "B 1148 RFP" indicates that the vehicle belongs to a police official. On January 27, 2023, the Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police announced that special "RF" plates will be discontinued on October 2023, due to often being misused by numbers of people.
