Jakarta (ANTARA) - A number of population administration services can\nnow be processed by the public without a cover letter from the\nneighbourhood association (RT\/RW) or urban village (kelurahan). The\npolicy aims to accelerate public services and make it easier for\ncitizens to access population documents.<\/p>\n
The Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration\n(Dukcapil) of the Ministry of Home Affairs explained that most\nadministrative document processing no longer requires an RT\/RW cover\nletter. Cover letters are only required under certain conditions,\nparticularly for residents who are not yet in the population database\nand need to obtain a Population Identification Number (NIK) and be\nrecorded in the Family Card (KK).<\/p>\n
Here are several population documents that generally no longer\nrequire an RT\/RW cover letter:<\/p>\n
Citizens recording or changing their KTP-el data do not need to bring\nan RT\/RW cover letter. Applicants can process it directly at the\nPopulation and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) by bringing the\nrequired documents according to the service needed.<\/p>\n
Processing changes or issuing a KK, such as changing family member\ndata, adding family members, or changing certain data elements, can be\ndone directly through Disdukcapil without a cover letter from the local\nenvironment.<\/p>\n
The process of moving residence no longer requires a cover letter\nfrom the RT\/RW or kelurahan. Citizens simply submit an application to\nDisdukcapil with the required documents, such as the KK, and fill out a\npopulation transfer registration form. This provision refers to\nPresidential Regulation Number 96 of 2018 and Minister of Home Affairs\nRegulation Number 108 of 2019.<\/p>\n
Making a birth certificate for a child or registering a birth can be\ndone through Dukcapil services with supporting documents such as a birth\ncertificate from a health facility, KK, and parents\u2019 documents. An RT\/RW\ncover letter is not a primary requirement for citizens whose data is\nalready available in the population administration system.<\/p>\n
Processing a death certificate is also part of the civil registration\nservices that can be done directly through Disdukcapil by attaching\nsupporting documents in accordance with applicable regulations.<\/p>\n
Making a KIA for children is also an administrative service that can\nbe applied for through Disdukcapil with family document requirements\nwithout needing an RT\/RW cover letter, provided the resident\u2019s data is\nalready recorded.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Home Affairs emphasised that this simplification of\nrequirements is part of efforts to improve the quality of population\nadministration services. The public is expected to be able to directly\naccess Dukcapil services, both face-to-face and through digital services\nprovided by local governments.<\/p>\n
In several regions, population administration services have also been\ndeveloped online to speed up the document processing. The DKI Jakarta\nProvincial Government, for example, provides Dukcapil services through\nservice counters and the Alpukat Betawi application to help citizens\nmanage population administration.<\/p>\n
However, certain conditions may still require an RT\/RW cover letter,\nespecially for residents who are about to be registered in the\npopulation database or require special verification regarding the\nvalidity of data.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/six-population-documents-that-can-now-be-processed-without-rt-rw-cover-letters-1784771633", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
