        "summary": "The Indonesian government is considering charging a fee of Rp 10,000 for replacing lost electronic ID cards (KTP-el) due to negligence, as the current state-funded replacement costs around Rp 225 billion annually for blanko procurement. This proposal, clarified by Deputy Interior Minister Bima Arya Sugiarto as a reprinting fee rather than a fine, aims to encourage public responsibility in safeguarding documents amid ongoing pushes for digital identity adoption. However, implementation requires revising the 2013 Population Administration Law and would exempt losses from disasters, with the policy not expected imminently.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Amid the government\u2019s strong push for Digital\nPopulation Identity (IKD), current administrative services are still\noperating conventionally. People in various regions must still present\nphysical Identity Cards (KTP), submit photocopies of identification, and\nhandle documents manually when accessing public or non-public services.\nRecently, Deputy Interior Minister Bima Arya Sugiarto floated the idea\nof a fine for citizens who lose their electronic ID cards. Lately, he\nemphasised that the levy is not a fine, but rather the cost of\nreprinting lost identity cards. \u201cThe issue that\u2019s being criticised is\nthe word \u2018fine\u2019, right, fine. Actually, what\u2019s meant is the cost of a\nnew print. So the first one is free, but if it\u2019s a new print, a fee is\ncharged, something like that. Cost of new printing. So perhaps that\u2019s a\nmore accurate definition,\u201d Bima Arya told reporters on Thursday\n(23\/4\/2026). Meanwhile, the reprinting cost of Rp 10,000 per card has so\nfar been borne by the state. Procurement of blanko up to Rp 225 billion.\nIn 2024-2025 alone, the Ministry of Home Affairs has budgeted Rp 224-225\nbillion for procuring around 22 million electronic KTP blanko sheets,\nassuming a price of Rp 10,187 per sheet. If the number of lost\nelectronic KTPs reaches 1.5 million people per year, the Ministry of\nHome Affairs would need to dig deeper into its pockets. \u201cSo then it\nwould require spending another around Rp 15 billion. That\u2019s why there\nwas a suggestion that for those whose e-KTP is lost due to negligence, a\nfine would be imposed, which is actually a replacement for the e-KTP\nblanko,\u201d explained Teguh to Kompas.com on Saturday (25\/4\/2026). Teguh\nemphasised that the reprinting fee would only apply to electronic KTPs\nlost due to the owner\u2019s negligence. Therefore, he hopes that with the\nplanned implementation of the fine, the public can be more responsible\nand careful in keeping or storing population documents. He stated that\nthe reprinting fee would not apply to electronic KTPs lost due to\ndisasters such as floods, landslides, fires, and accidents. Furthermore,\nhe added, the proposal will not be implemented in the near future. The\ngovernment and the House of Representatives (DPR RI) need to sit\ntogether to revise Law Number 24 of 2013 on Population Administration\n(Adminduk).<\/p>",
