JAKARTA - The Bekasi City Government will operate two machines for the Mandiri Dukcapil Pavilion (ADM). Like an ATM machine, residents can use it to print residence documents easily.

Head of the Bekasi City Population and Civil Registration Service, Taufiq Rachmat Hidayat, said that the operation of this machine is like the ATM machine launched by the Minister of Home Affairs Pak Tito Karnavian at the end of 2019. The presence of an ADM machine will facilitate the manufacturing and printing process of population administration.

"We buy one machine using regional incentive funds, the other is a loan from the Ministry of Home Affairs," said Taufiq as quoted by Antara, Thursday, August 13.

The plan, he said, was that the two ADM machines would be operated in the BTC Public Service Mall (Bekasi Trade Center) area. Meanwhile, another ADM machine will be placed in the Bekasi City Government Office area.

"One is deliberately at the Municipal Government Office because it could be 24 hours, because from a security point of view there are officers," he added.

The presence of this ADM machine is also for supporting facilities. In addition to the online service launched by Bekasi City, namely e-Open. In the future, each MPP will be provided with an ADM machine such as Plaza Cibubur, Plaza Pondok Gede and BTC Bekasi Timur.

"The initial plan was that we wanted each MPP to have an ADM machine. We have an MPP at Plaza Cibubur, Plaza Pondok Gede and BTC. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, part of our budget is subject to refocusing," he added.
