When your Google AdSense payment reaches the threshold, you may receive a notification that your Tax Residency Certificate (Surat Keterangan Domisili Pajak) has expired. To continue receiving payments without interruption, you must upload a new certificate—something Indonesian creators are now required to obtain through CoreTAX, the updated platform that replaced DJP Online.

This guide walks you through every step, based entirely on the video tutorial transcript.
