Citizens show their ID cards to the guarding officer when entering the tourist area of Kota Tua, West Jakarta, on Saturday (15/5/2021). In order to minimize crowds, the Jakarta Provincial Government only allows visitors with Jakarta ID cards to enter tourist places in Jakarta during the Eid holiday.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — A total of 12,851 state civil servants in DKI Jakarta were affected by the system of structuring and control master number population or NIK. This step was taken to ensure that there is no favoritism in the process of structuring the population administration system.

The Head of the Population and Civil Registration Office of DKI Jakarta Province, Budi Awaluddin, stated on Friday (May 24th, 2024) that there are currently 11,337,563 individuals registered as residents of Jakarta. This number is expected to continue to increase.

They occupy about 661.5 square kilometers of land. In this way, in one square meter the Jakarta area is occupied by around 17 people. If this arrangement is not carried out, there will be unsynchronization of population data between de facto and de jure.

"This situation ultimately has an impact on the inaccuracy of the population database," said Budi.

Therefore, currently the arrangement and control of population data in DKI Jakarta continues to be carried out, including in the DKI Jakarta state civil apparatus (ASN). Currently, DKI ASN who have a Jakarta NIK number 66,061 people. Of that number, around 12,851 people are included in the proposed arrangement or are affected by NIK deactivation.

A student's thumb is placed on a fingerprint recording device during electronic National ID card registration at SMAS Islam As-Syafi'iyah, Bukit Duri, Jakarta on Thursday (May 2, 2024). The South Jakarta City Government provided a mobile electronic National ID card registration service for students at school. A total of 194 students participated in the electronic National ID card registration.

"From here, we ensure that there will be no selective cutting in the structuring process," he said.

For this reason, Budi hopes that all ASNs in the work environment of each regional apparatus will ensure that population documents in the form of family cards and electronic KTP match their domicile.

"If you don't report, your KTP will be proposed to be deactivated or temporarily frozen," said Budi.

On the other hand, some civil servants have become aware of the need to report administrative data. As of May, 1,170 civil servants in Jakarta have reported and had their NIK reactivated.

Marina (36), a civil servant at one of the ministries, said that she was surprised to find out that her ID card (KTP) was proposed to be deactivated. This resident of Joglo, West Jakarta, only found out that her KTP was on the list to be regulated after seeing the application. "I only knew about it after my sibling reminded me," said Marina.

Marina will soon solve this problem because in any case, her NIK will be very much needed when she carries out her activities. "If my KTP is not active, it can cause problems for all my affairs," said Marina.

As of May, 1,170 ASN DKI Jakarta had reported and had their NIK reactivated.

Previously, member of Commission A of the Jakarta DPRD, Dwi Wijayanto Rio Sambodo, hoped that the government would not make unilateral decisions when proposing to deactivate citizens' ID cards.

"Disdukcapil must really confirm whether the residents have moved. "Don't just base it on assumptions," said Dwi.

Residents are registering for electronic ID cards (e-KTP) in Pondok Pinang Village, South Jakarta, on Monday (11/7/2016). As the deadline for updating temporary voter data on November 20, 2016 approaches, acceleration of electronic ID card registration continues to take place.

According to Dwi, there are various factors that make residents with Jakarta ID cards reside temporarily outside Jakarta, such as work, education, or other socio-economic factors. "Therefore, the civil registration agency must conduct a detailed study before proposing the deactivation of ID cards," said Dwi.

He also believes that it is feared that deactivating the KTP will create chaos in the DKI Jakarta regional head election.

"Why is KTP (deactivation) held close to the regional elections? Won't it create chaos later?” said Dwi.
