Balinese Citizens Receive First Electronic Land Certificate From President Jokowi

KLUNGKUNG - One of the Balinese residents named Ita Sapari from Badung Regency became one of the first recipients of an electronic land certificate handed over directly by President Jokowi (Jokowi) at the State Palace, Jakarta, as a new digital transformation program of the Ministry of Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN).

In Klungkung Regency, Head of the Bali ATR/BPN Regional Office Andry Novijandri said Ita Sapari had agreed from the start when the regional office offered this new program.

At that time, we socialized it not yet intensively, but he apparently wanted to receive the certificate, we made it directly electronic. So he is not changing the media, but from flat or girik, it is immediately processed into an electronic certificate," Andry said after attending the handover of the Land Certificate and Launch of the Electronic Land Certificate, reported by ANTARA, Monday, December 4.

In the online and offline launch, Ita Sapari was one of the first 10 representatives to receive an electronic land certificate and was not an individual government (Pemda) or business entity, which President Jokowi symbolically handed over to the representative.

Thus, he continued, Balinese people can transfer their certificates from analog to digital documents. It will also help people avoid unwanted things such as loss, damage, or fraud.

"Now Bali has a lot of land problems, such as the issue of replacement certificates, he said it was missing. If there is an electronic land certificate, it will no longer be lost. After this, everything can be digital immediately," he said.

To date, following Ita Sapari, there have been around 280 electronic certificates processed by the Bali ATR/BPN Regional Office and in the future everything will be processed the same.

"Electronic certificates are ordinary certificates, but digital data, such as saving at banks, some receive books, some don't, but the data is the same. At first, the shape of the data print was at the head office, now this print is changed so it doesn't exist," said Andry.

In the future, so that the public will be further educated by changing the form of certificates from print to electronic, his party will pick up the ball to the public so that a total of 2,035,418 land certificates that have been registered are changed to digital forms, including those who have just registered their land.

"Later we will socialize, so there is no need to come to the office later we will schedule by coming to the village to convert media into electronics. But if you want to see for yourself, as stated by the Minister of ATR, you can be in the Touch Tanahku application," said Andry.
