JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Disdukcapil) noted that as many as 243,100 Jakarta residents living outside the area had moved their identity. Head of DKI Jakarta Disdukcapil Budi Awaluddin explained, hundreds of thousands of Jakarta residents living outside this area had taken care of the transfer of documents, including the address of residence on the ID card. This number of residents leaving Jakarta is 243,160, while the population of newcomers from outside Jakarta is 136,200 people throughout 2023," said Budi in his statement, Friday, January 19. Budi explained that the number of DKI Jakarta residents in the second semester of 2023 in the clean consolidation data (DKB) was recorded at 11,337,563 people.' This figure decreased by 12,765 people compared to DKB in the 1 semester of 2023 which amounted to 11,350,328 people," he said. Population Management according to domicile has suppressed the number of immigrants who for 3 years continued to rise, in 2023 it fell to 136,200, compared to 2022 as much as 151,752. Budi estimates that the trend of decreasing population number will continue to decline until the beginning of 2024. This is because the DKI Jakarta Disdukcapil has been aggressively socializing the application of population identity according to domicile, he said. However, Budi admitted that there are still many newcomers to Jakarta. This is due to Jakarta's attractiveness as the center of government to the economy. As the capital city of the country, Jakarta is still the largest population displacement center nationally. The movement occurred because Jakarta has health facilities, education, transportation, housing, complete entertainment, social security, the number of jobs is greater and high live expectations, "he explained.

Meanwhile, the DKI Provincial Government plans to disable the population identification number (NIK) of residents with DKI Jakarta ID cards who have lived outside the region in March 2024. This policy of removing the NIK is contained in the DKI Regional Secretary Instruction Number e-0014/2023 concerning Temporary Deactivation and Reactivation of the NIK and Balik Homecoming Data Collection in 2023.
