Population documents that may not be given the title (andaranews)

YOGYAKARTA - Population documents play an important role as proof of a person's identity and status. However, did you know that there are some population documents that cannot be given titles?

This rule may sound trivial, but has a strong legal basis and purpose. This article will thoroughly explore what population documents should not be given the title.

Please note, some population documents, such as Identity Cards (KTP) and Family Cards (KK), allow citizens to include their titles.

Academic degrees, ranging from diplomas to doctorates, can be added in front or behind names according to preferences. In addition, religious titles such as hajj or hajj are also allowed to be included in these documents.

However, keep in mind that not all population documents allow the inclusion of titles, both academic and religious.

Dukcapil Sleman, through his Instagram account, said that there are several restrictions in writing names on population documents regulated in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) Number 73 of 2022 concerning Listing of Names on Population Documents.

One of the important points in the regulation, especially in Article 5 paragraph 3, is the prohibition of inclusion of educational or religious titles on civil registration certificates.

This rule is different from the rules for Family Cards (KK) and Identity Cards (KTP), where data can be updated according to the current condition of the population.

Regulations regarding the writing of names on this population document will take effect from April 21, 2022. Therefore, the names of residents who have been recorded in the population documents before that date remain valid and do not require changes.
