JAKARTA - The Ministry of Religion will launch a digital marriage card as part of the revitalization of the religious affairs office (KUA) IN providing ease of service and quality to the public.

"In the not too distant future, we will give digitalization of the marriage card to the bride and groom," said the Director of Bina KUA and Family Sakinah of the Ministry of Religion, Muharam Marzuki, quoted by Antara, Friday, April 23.

He said the card can be obtained directly online after the marriage ceremony procession is complete. Later, each couple will get a physical and digital marriage card.

Thus, couples who are traveling will no longer need to carry a physical marriage card that could be lost. But it remains only to carry a digital copy so that it is practical when traveling.

"Right now we are in the process of digitizing marriage cards. God willing, in the near future a digital marriage card will be born, and it is the Ministry of Religion's obligation to make adjustments to the times and how to provide the best and quality services," he said.

The digitization of this marriage card will reach all religious affairs offices throughout Indonesia.

"Later this service will apply to KUA throughout Indonesia. So this policy does not only apply to one regional KUA, but throughout our national KUA," he said.

Muharam explained that the issuance of this digital marriage card is in accordance with Law (UU) Number 25 of 2008 concerning Public Services, government agencies are obliged to provide excellent, best service, provide convenience, quality service.

"With the improvement of services in state institutions, we hope that the public feels that the state is present, the government serves, especially in matters of marriage registration," he said.
