The Ministry of Home Affairs has stated that the digitalisation of\npopulation administration will make it easier for the public to access\nvarious government services. Currently, several population\nadministration services can be accessed digitally through the Digital\nPopulation Identity, or IKD. The public can apply for family card\nprinting and biodata for Indonesian citizens, manage individual moving\ncertificates, and apply for family card separation or splitting.<\/p>\n
The IKD also provides civil registration services, including the\nissuance of birth certificates for Indonesian citizens who do not yet\nhave a Population Identification Number, birth certificates for those\nwho already have one, and death certificates. Additionally, there are\nservices for updating education data, applying for non-permanent\nresident status, and accessing blood type information.<\/p>\n
In the future, according to Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian,\npeople who have activated their IKD will no longer need to rely on\nphotocopies of their electronic ID cards for various administrative\nprocesses. Through IKD, the digital identity can display a digital form\nof the e-KTP, family card, and other population documents. The digital\nidentity will also become the primary means for verification,\nvalidation, and access to various public services electronically.<\/p>\n
Through IKD, digital identity can utilise Single Sign-On and share\ndata voluntarily based on consent. The IKD also serves as an access\ngateway to online Population Registration and Civil Registration\nservices. Tito expressed his appreciation to all ranks of the\nDirectorate General of Dukcapil and Dukcapil Offices throughout\nIndonesia for their contribution to building the national population\nadministration system. He noted that the success of digital\ntransformation is determined not only by technological advancement but\nalso by the quality of the human resources managing it.<\/p>\n
\u2018Technology is merely a tool. The main key to success still lies in\nthe quality of the human resources who manage it. Therefore, we continue\nto strengthen integrity, competence, and collaboration so that\npopulation administration services improve and provide real benefits for\nall Indonesian people,\u2019 Tito said.<\/p>\n
Director General of Population and Civil Registration at the Ministry\nof Home Affairs, Teguh Setyabudi, stated that as of 31 July 2026, the\nnumber of users who have activated IKD reached 21,152,840 people. In its\nimplementation, IKD supports the utilisation of population data through\nQR Codes. There are two scanning mechanisms available. In the first\ntype, residents share their population data QR Code with service\nproviders. In the second type, residents scan a QR Code provided by the\nservice provider using the IKD application.<\/p>\n
Another function being developed is Single Sign-On. Through this\nmechanism, residents can verify data and access service provider\napplications using IKD. This means the public does not need to\nrepeatedly enter or create identities for each digital service used.\nAccording to Teguh, there are future development plans for IKD,\nincluding strengthening the IKD design, developing secure remote\nonboarding using liveness detection technology, a digital folder for\nstoring official documents, data sharing with the consent of the data\nowner, strengthening IKD branding, involving public participation,\nadopting international standards for interoperability, and accessibility\nfeatures for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n
Teguh invited all regional governments to continue strengthening\ncollaboration in updating population data and expanding the\nimplementation of IKD. He said the success of digital transformation is\ndetermined not only by technological sophistication but also by the\ncommitment of all stakeholders to build an integrated, inclusive public\nservice ecosystem oriented towards the needs of the community.\n\u2018Ultimately, digital transformation is not just about technology, but\nabout how the state can deliver services that are easier, faster, safer,\nand more targeted for all citizens,\u2019 Teguh said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ikd-becomes-gateway-to-digital-population-administration-services-1786449417", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
