JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to disable the ID cards of residents who do not live in the capital city. However, there is no certainty when the implementation of the KTP is deactivated. This policy is contained in the DKI Regional Secretary Instruction Number e-0014/2023 concerning Temporary Deactivation and Reactivation of NIK and Balik Homecoming Data in 2023. Head of DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Service (Disdukcapil) Budi Awaluddin said that currently his party is currently collecting data "residents who no longer live in the DKI Jakarta area. This data collection mechanism refers to the Decree of the Head of the DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Office Number 80 of 2023 concerning Guidelines for Deactivation and Reactivation of Population Identification Numbers (NIK). This is an effort to control population administration where residents with DKI Jakarta ID cards must de facto live in the DKI Jakarta area, "said Budi. His statement, Wednesday, May 3. Budi revealed, by controlling population administration, the provision of social assistance to residents can be more targeted and accurate. Meanwhile, currently the population in the capital city is 11.7 million people, where this figure far exceeds the ideal capacity of the population of Jakarta ideal which should only reach 6 million people. The density of Jakarta residents, Budi acknowledged, adds to the government's burden in determining the target of providing social assistance. "The current population density it is out of control which has an impact on social problems, especially on the education, health, transportation, unemployment/energies, and the environment," said Budi. So far, around 194 thousand Jakarta residents have settled outside the region. This figure, said Budi, will continue to increase along with further recording. "This data was obtained based on findings in the field and RT/RW reports over the past few years. After that, RT/RW will re-verify the results matching and research in the field, "he said. Budi also added that the Head of RT/RW has the authority to propose deactivating the ID cards of residents who are no longer domiciled in their area. In the success of the Government program, the DKI Jakarta Disdukcapil does involve RT/RW for the transfer service process and the residents of DKI Jakarta come.

However, the involvement of the RT/RW was carried out after the community received population document services at the Dukcapil service counter in the village. "For residents who still have a DKI Jakarta ID card but are no longer domiciled in DKI Jakarta, we urge them to immediately report to the Dukcapil counter at the village level to immediately process the transfer according to their domicile address. Active participation of residents is needed for better Jakarta and administrative order," he added.
