District Government Provides Ease of Licensing Services for Thousand Islands Residents

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Kepulauan Seribu District Government is providing ease of licensing services to island residents through the Integrated Mobile Services (Peduli) programme on Tidung Island and Panggang Island.

The activity is an effort to bring administrative and licensing services directly to the community in the island region,” said the Head of the Administrative Sub-section of the Investment Management Unit and One-Stop Integrated Services (PMPTSP) of Kepulauan Seribu District, Syukahar, in Jakarta on Thursday.

The Peduli Pulau programme, he said, aims to make it easier for the community to access administrative services, licensing, and business legality directly and quickly.

This activity is a form of the government’s commitment to bringing services closer to island communities.

Through the proactive approach, residents can obtain various administrative and licensing services easily, for free, and transparently,” he said.

The services provided involve several agencies such as the Sub-Directorate of Population and Civil Registration, Immigration, Kepulauan Seribu Police Resort, BPJS Employment, National Land Agency, Ministry of Manpower, North Jakarta Religious Court, and Bank DKI.

In the Peduli Pulau activity held on Tidung Island on Tuesday (12/5), a total of 155 services were successfully provided to the community.

The services included population administration, passport issuance, Police Clearance Certificate (SKCK), land consultation, taxation, and BPJS Employment services.

Meanwhile, the activity on Panggang Island on Wednesday (13/5) successfully served 57 residents with various types of services such as passport issuance, SKCK, PBB consultation, population administration services, and KUR applications.

Syukahar added that the Peduli Pulau activity is also a step to support local economic growth through facilitating business legality for UMKM actors and local residents.

“With proper business legality and administration, we hope the community can more easily develop their businesses and access other public services,” he said.

Meanwhile, a resident of Panggang Island, Sahrudin (39), admitted to being helped by the direct services.

“Usually, we have to go to the mainland to handle documents. Now it’s easier because the services come directly to the island, so it saves more time and costs,” he said.
