JAKARTA - The Chairman of DPR Commission II, Muhammad Rifqinizamy\nKarsayuda, believes that citizens\u2019 wallets should no longer be filled\nwith various identity cards, following the digital integration of\npopulation data by the Ministry of Home Affairs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe often describe in this Commission chamber that our wallets should\nno longer need to contain cards. Even the KTP should no longer need to\nbe carried,\u201d said Rifqi at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, on Monday\n(20\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
All population data, such as faces, retinas, and fingerprints, has\nbeen stored in the Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil)\ndatabase, allowing verification for various services.<\/p>\n
Therefore, citizens should no longer need to carry physical cards\neverywhere because the required data is already stored digitally.<\/p>\n
The same applies to tax services, where taxpayer data can be directly\nlinked to the NIK without needing to show the NPWP.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing to the tax office, you no longer need to be asked to submit\nyour NPWP card. The tax office can just use your fingerprint, check your\nface or retina, and it\u2019s known. With your NIK, your tax number will also\nappear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOr even the tax number is no longer needed; the NIK itself will then\ninclude the tax number. So it can be seen whether Rifqi has submitted\nhis SPT or not, and what tax obligations Rifqi has that are\noutstanding,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Citizens no longer need to carry physical documents like\ncertificates, as land ownership data can be accessed digitally through\nconnected systems.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Rifqi considers population data integration important to\nsupport government policies, including President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\npriority programmes.<\/p>\n
With an integrated system, the government is seen as being able to\nmore easily identify citizens eligible for assistance, including in\neducation programmes like Sekolah Rakyat.<\/p>\n
In fact, a single identity-based system can connect all that data in\none platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should be that we already have that data digitally and all that\ndata is connected through a good system. And that can be done through a\nSingle Identity Number,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery Indonesian citizen who is born only needs to remember their\nSIN, and with remembering their SIN, that SIN will take them to public\nservices throughout the Republic,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
However, the formal legislative process is still awaiting the\napplicable stages, including the response to the letter from the DPR\nleadership to the President regarding the appointment of government\nrepresentatives to discuss the revision of the Population Administration\nLaw.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of that, while waiting for the President\u2019s letter and\nrespecting the formal process, today\u2019s meeting is scheduled to discuss\nthe urgency of revising the Population Administration Law as an effort\nto improve population administration governance in Indonesia,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpr-commission-ii-chairman-believes-citizens-should-no-longer-need-to-carry-physical-id-cards-1776664257", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
