JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria responded to a number of protests from residents whose residence documents were affected by the change of dozens of street names to names of Betawi figures.
Riza understands that changing street names makes residents need to re-administer changes to documents such as ID cards, KK, STNK, and other documents. However, he asked residents not to worry too much about it.
"Everyone understands that all of this is still in the process of improving the identity itself, whether it is ID card, KK, STNK, etc. So, there is no need to worry too much about it," said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, July 1.
Riza revealed that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and the Metro Jaya Regional Police fully serve the replacement of population documents and vehicle documents without any fees.
Moreover, according to him, currently there are no significant problems caused by changing the name of the road. Given, the process of changing documents has not become an urgent thing to do.
"So, I don't think the public need to worry. It doesn't mean that if it hasn't been changed, then the identity will be problematic. No, yes. So, all parties related to the identity of residents whose names have changed, will not be a problem for those who still include their old addresses," he explained.
