JAKARTA, KOMPAS - Jakarta residents changed their KTPs along with the move of the capital to the archipelago, East Kalimantan. The replacement of 8.3 million KTPs from the Special Capital Region to Jarea Special Jakarta (DKJ), as part of the nomenclature adjustment, will be carried out in stages and will not disrupt public services.

DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Service will replace millions of residents' ID cards after the presidential decree is issued. As stated in Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital, the transfer of the position, function and role of the national capital from Jakarta to the archipelago is determined by presidential decree.

The Head of the Population and Civil Registry Agency of DKI Jakarta, Budi Awaluddin, stated that they are still waiting for the official decision from the President and the enactment of the DKJ law. After that, a gradual replacement of ID cards will take place for 8.3 million citizens.

"We're doing it gradually. It's possible that only 2-3 million will be fulfilled this year. The replacement process is quick, about 5 to 10 minutes, just by bringing your ID card," said Budi on Tuesday (April 30, 2024).

KTP replacement takes place at the One-Stop Integrated Service (PTSP) in the village according to the address listed on the KTP. Residents only need to bring their old KTP for data verification and validation. Printing is adjusted based on the availability of blank forms.

Budi also ensured that public services, such as the Smart Jakarta Card, Elderly Jakarta Card, and BPJS, will not be disrupted by this KTP replacement. "Not at all (disrupting public services) because there is no change in data elements. Only a change in nomenclature, from DKI to DKJ," said Budi.

As millions of people's ID cards are going to be updated, the Commission A at DPRD DKI Jakarta has requested the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to thoroughly prepare everything. This includes the readiness of officials at the sub-district level to cooperation with RT/RW (community unit organizations).

Civil registration and population officers (dukcapil) attached a retina recording device to the eye of a student who was undergoing electronic ID card registration at SMAN 38 Jakarta on Wednesday (February 7th, 2024).

Not at all (disrupting public services) because there are no changes to data elements. Only the nomenclature changes, from DKI to DKJ.

The Chairman of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council, Mujiyono, said that the council has been discussing the replacement of the ID card with the relevant agency since 2023. This is not an easy job, so it requires readiness from the officers and support from the community leaders to avoid queues and disruption of residents' activities.

On the other hand, the replacement of ID cards also serves as an opportunity to update residents' data according to their domicile. It is known that the first phase of deactivating ID cards for 92,493 residents, consisting of 81,119 deceased individuals and 11,374 living in different residential areas, is currently underway.
