The Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Service (Dukcapil) has introduced the Saturday Population Administration Service (SAPA), which operates on the third Saturday of each month. Residents wishing to handle population documents over the weekend can utilise the SAPA service at Dukcapil Jakarta.

According to a post from the Instagram account @dukcapiljakarta, here is the SAPA service schedule for April 2026.

How to Record ID at Age 16

These are the requirements for recording and for residents aged 16 years:

  • Minimum age of 16 years

  • Bring a photocopy of the family card (KK)

  • This also applies to residents who are already or have been married even if not yet 17 years old

After recording, the e-ID card can be printed when the resident turns 17 years old.

Until When is the NIK Valid?

The National ID Number (NIK) is a unique number owned by an individual registered as an Indonesian citizen. The NIK consists of 16 digits and is usually listed on the ID card or family card.

According to a post from the Instagram account Dukcapil Jakarta (@dukcapiljakarta), the NIK is valid for life and cannot be changed, even if moving provinces or changing status. One person only has one identity number (NIK) that is valid for life.

The NIK will continue to be attached to every person as long as they are registered as an Indonesian citizen. The NIK also does not change even if you:

  • Move residence

  • Move provinces

  • Marry or divorce

  • Change jobs

  • Experience changes in population status

Functions of the NIK

Based on Law No. 24 of 2013 on Amendments to Law No. 23 of 2006 on Population Administration, the NIK is a population identity number that is unique or distinctive, singular, and attached to a person registered as an Indonesian citizen.

The NIK becomes the single identity number for all public services. The government provides all public services based on the NIK.
