JAKARTA DKI Jakarta plans to disable Identity Cards (KTP) for residents who do not live in Jakarta. However, residents can reactivate their ID cards as long as they have a place to live as evidenced by a guarantee letter from the owner of the house.

"The important thing is that residents report, so that we can activate their ID cards," said Head of South Jakarta Dukcapil Sub-dept. Muhammad Nurrahman Antara, Wednesday, May 17.

"Even people who sign the house can also reactivate their ID cards with the aim of making it clear the population administration," said Nurrahman.

"As long as there are no transfer reports, we cannot unilaterally deactivate the ID card because there must be a proposal from the address owner," he continued.

According to Nurrahman, it is important to carry out this population administration order considering that there are a thousand people moving to South Jakarta from the results of recording their ID cards after Eid al-Fitr 1444 Hijriah.

"A total of 1,453 residents have moved to South Jakarta from April 23 to May 15, 2023," said Nurrahman.

Nurrahman detailed the origin of the most population from West Java Province with a total of 539 people, followed by Banten, Central Java, East Java, North Sumatra, Lampung, West Sumatra, and South Sumatra.

His party carried out the service process according to the request of the thousand residents as long as it was clear where the report came from and where it would be moving to.

In addition, based on the urban village, most of the residents chose Jagakarsa Village as the location for arrival. Followed by Ciganjur, North Petukangan, Srengseng Sawah, Cipedak, Bintaro, North Kebayoran Lama, and East Pejaten.

In addition, his party also appealed to residents who want to move to the South Jakarta area to have a job or permanent income so that data collection can be maximized.

"Don't just move without any expertise in DKI Jakarta, so let's say from work or whatever, it will end up being difficult," he said.

Previously, the South Jakarta City Administration Government asked residents in the area to be orderly in the administration of population data (adminduk) related to the plan to deactivate the population identification number (NIK) of residents who no longer live in the capital city.

"Currently, we are still socializing the order of the administration, starting from collecting data on residents who are de jure and de facto different, unknown whereabouts, dead and others," said Nurrahman previously.
