JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) will issue birth certificates and Child Identity Cards (KIA) for children living in orphanages and neglected children.

This program was carried out together with the Civil and State Administration Division of the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati).

"This direct effort was made to provide legal certainty for all residents, to Jakarta, Global City," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Disdukcapil Budi Awaluddin in his statement, Tuesday, June 25.

Budi emphasized that complete identity is the right of all Jakarta residents to provide clarity on identity and status for residents, legal certainty, legal protection, and comfort for their owners.

"The importance of population administration is practiced by the whole community. For this reason, we continue to strive to organize a population administration data collection system to make it better with synergy with related parties," explained Budi.

Continuing, the Head of the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office, Rudi Margono, emphasized that he would accelerate the birth certificate ownership program for all DKI residents without exception.

Given, ownership of birth certificates is a form of protection and recognition of citizens' civil rights.

"This is to anticipate victims of criminal acts, such as child trafficking, exploitation, and early marriage. Therefore, this identity is a right that must be realized by the state," explained Rudi.

In addition, the District Attorney's Office (Kejari) together with the DKI Disdukcapil will also continue to synergize in resolving the problem of marriage through Isbat Nikah, in which West Jakarta is a pilot project.
