Disdukcapil Will Disable NIK DKI Residents Living Outside Jakarta, How To Verify To RT/RW Until Kos Owners

Head of the DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Disdukcapil) Budi Awaluddin said he would implement two ways to disable Jakarta's population identification number (NIK) for residents who no longer live in the capital city.

"There are two ways, first it can be through the owner of a boarding house or rented house and secondly by direct field verification through RT/RW," Budi said at the Jakarta City Hall as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 5.

Budi revealed, if there is no request to deactivate the NIK, then the resident's population identification number will remain active.

Previously, Budi said that so far he had found 194,000 residents with Jakarta NIK but no longer domiciled in DKI Jakarta.

"Our initial data is currently 194,000, this is still valid data, just need to be verified again. However, we continue to carry out socialization, this data can be reduced or increased later," said Budi.

The deactivation of ID cards for residents who are no longer domiciled in Jakarta aims to regulate population administration.

"To orderly population administration and so that data is accurate, policy formulation will be more accurate, later we will not be wrongly targeted to provide subsidies to the community," explained Budi.
