        "summary": "The Indonesian Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration has clarified that photocopying electronic ID cards (e-KTP) remains permissible for administrative purposes, provided it is done responsibly with due regard for personal data security. Verification of identities can now be conducted digitally through methods such as card readers, web services, facial recognition, and the Digital Population Identity (IKD), reducing the need for physical documents. For lost e-KTPs, replacement is free and straightforward, requiring only a police report of loss and a photocopy of the family card, with no re-recording of biometrics needed due to the biometric database.",
