JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta Population and Civil Registry (Dukcapil) Sub-Department (Jakpus) disabled 2,989 Population Identification Numbers (NIK) or identity cards (KTP) out of 4,139 residents who have died.

Head of the Central Jakarta Dukcapil Sub-dept., Syamsul Bahri, said this figure refers to the results of data collection conducted from April 1 to April 15, 2024, targeting data on the death rate of residents with ID cards that are still active.

"The remaining 1,150 ID cards, the Dukcapil Service has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs for an official letter to be deactivated," he said in his statement in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 23, which was confiscated by Antara.

Syamsul said that the Central Jakarta Dukcapil then collected data through RT on residents who were no longer there and verified data on 3,208 people.

"Data data collection and verification of 3,208 people are ongoing until April 30, 2024," he said.

Meanwhile, Assistant for Government (Aspem) Secretary of Central Jakarta City Administration Denny Ramdany said that the arrangement and control of population documents according to domicile aims to realize the orderly population administration.

This arrangement is also useful for presenting provincial-scale data originating from Clean Population Data (DKB) and updating population data so that it produces accurate and accountable data.

Denny mengingatkan masyarakat dapat memeriksa status NIK dengan datang langsung ke loket-loket layanan kelurahan atau melalui https://jawara-dukcapil.Jakarta.go.id/.

"Meanwhile, complaint services for people who want to file complaints for the reactivation of the NIK either have been deactivated or are still in the proposal to come to the village service counter according to their domicile place," he said.

Meanwhile, the DKI Jakarta Dukcapil Service proposed to deactivate 92,493 Jakarta residents to the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) in April. Of this number, 81,119 NIKs from residents who have died and the remaining 11,374 are NIK residents in RT who no longer exist.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Dukcapil) Budi Awaludin said the deactivation of the NIK was not carried out locally. DKI Jakarta Dukcapil officers at the provincial and city levels, he added, would first verify residents, before disabling the NIK.
