He furthered in the next day, they come back again with a different media card but its identity remains the same. If there is the same case, the officer will record the name of the company and take a picture of the person. Because they also make other problems, like by falsifying licensing letter, authorization letter power, and even stamp.

"Because of they (brokers) keep coming, we make another way, that is by restricting only 1 file in 1 week for the same person. Officers are usually already familiar with their faces very well," he explained.

Therefore, he urged people to actively process licensing letters by themselves. Moreover, the current process is very easy as long as the requirements are complete. Grisang added, people should avoid brokers because they make expensive tariff.
