Deputy Chairman of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Alia Noorayu Laksono, appreciated the Population and Civil Registration Service (Disdukcapil) for issuing a standard operating procedure (SOP) for printing Identity Cards (KTP) for a maximum of 15 minutes.

So far, many residents have not received ID cards due to the limitations of the blanks. As a result, it has to wait several weeks, even months. However, currently, the stock of blanks owned by the DKI Provincial Government is quite large.

"Yesterday, residents were told to wait two weeks. There should be no more problems starting this week. Residents can immediately get their ID cards," said Alia, quoted on Friday, November 22.

Alia also appealed to all DKI Jakarta Dukcapil Sub-department (Sudin) in all regions to inform residents regarding the printing of ID cards.

"We also ask the Dukcapil Sub-Department to inform the sub-districts, sub-districts, RT, RW, to inform all residents who are still using a certificate (Suket) to immediately get an ID card," said Alia.

Previously, the Head of the Dukcapil Office, Budi Awaluddin, said that his party had received a grant of 5 million blanks from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri).

"There has been no shortage since a month ago, because we have received a blank grant," said Budi.

He also guarantees the printing of new ID cards, the replacement of damaged ID cards, or the renewal of personal data information in no more than 15 minutes.

"We guarantee that the printing of ID cards can be served with a time of 10 to 15 minutes according to the SOP," he added.
