Get Ready Jakartans! Anies Ensures There Is A Second Wave Street Name Change

JAKARTA - DKI Governor Anies Baswedan confirmed that there will be a change in street names for the next period after the change of 22 street names with the names of Betawi figures.

"But it doesn't end here, it's (22 street names) wave one," Anies said at the Jakarta City Hall as reported by Antara, Monday, June 27.

However, Anies did not disclose the plan to change the name of the road in the next period, including the time of changing the name of the street.

He emphasized that changing street names would not be a hassle for DKI Jakarta residents when they wanted to update population administration data and other data.

There are also consequences for changing the 22 street names in Jakarta, including changes in population administration document data such as Identity Cards (KTP), Family Cards and Child Identity Cards (KIA).

In addition, it is also for documents for a driving license (SIM), land certificates, and data on motorized vehicle ownership.

The former Minister of Education and Culture explained that the reason for changing the 22 street names in the capital was to honor the services of Betawi leaders to Jakarta.

"This is a city where struggles are fought and so many heroes and meritorious individuals gather," said Anies regarding the urgency of changing street names.

Anies explained that the current address data is still valid and can be renewed later when the validity period has expired.

For example, a driver's license (SIM) or a vehicle registration number (STNK) can be changed when the validity period expires or proactively replace it at no charge.

"Everything recorded on ID cards, family cards, land documents, motorized vehicles is all still valid, along with the expiration of the validity of the document, and replacing a new document, then the new name is entered unless you want to proactively come and change it," he said.
