TANGERANG - The Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil) of Tangerang Regency is targeting as many as 600 thousand more residents in the area to have child identity cards (KIA) by 2022.

"For residents/children who have received MCH, there are currently more than 289,000 or around 30 percent of the target of 600,000 or 60 percent," said Head of the Identity Section (Kasi) of the Tangerang Regency Disdukcapil, Nuryadi in Tangerang, Banten, quoted from Antara, Tuesday 19 July.

He explained, from the target of around 600 thousand more citizens/children who are required to have an identity based on data from the Disdukcapil in 2022.

"Indeed, from 60 percent of this the national target. But hopefully later in the fifth quarter everything can be completed," he said.

He said, with the target of hundreds of thousands, currently there are only 289,000 more people who have pocketed KIA. While the rest do not have the card.

"So the number that has been printed by KIA is 289 thousand, the remaining is not yet, so we are now continuing to pursue that target," he said.

Nevertheless, said Nuryadi, his party is still making efforts to pick up the ball to schools in the Tangerang Regency area to record and record residents/children who do not yet have an identity.

"We also have a team to carry out door-to-door steps to schools because now they have started to enter again. Then in the process of making KIA this is done free of charge, there is no collection of fees," he said.

According to him, KIA itself is the identity of children aged less than 17 years who have not been able to get an identity card (KTP), besides that this identity card can later be used as a requirement for entering school, making savings for necessities and others.
