Limited Services Available: Travellers Can Handle Land Affairs Needs in Yogyakarta
The Eid al-Fitr homecoming period is being utilised by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) to continue providing land services to the public. Through limited services that remain open during the Nyepi holiday (Saka New Year 1948) and Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri, travellers heading to Yogyakarta can also handle various land needs directly in their hometowns.
“We view the homecoming moment as an opportunity for the public to return to their places of origin while resolving various pending matters, including land affairs. Therefore, we are presenting land services to be optimally utilised by travellers,” said the Head of Administration at the Yogyakarta Provincial Land Agency Office, Andi Reza Fitrian Eru Setiawan, in a written statement on Wednesday (18/03/2026).
The opening of limited land services in the Special Region of Yogyakarta refers to Circular Letter (SE) from the Secretary General of the Ministry of ATR/BPN Number B/KP.06/331-100/111/2026. Services are available on 18, 19, 20, 23, and 24 March 2026, from 09:00 to 12:00 local time.
“In accordance with the instructions of the Head of the Yogyakarta Provincial Land Agency Office, we ensure that all Land Offices in the Special Region of Yogyakarta remain open during that period, namely in Yogyakarta City, Sleman Regency, Bantul, Kulon Progo, and Gunungkidul Regencies. It is hoped that the public can utilise services such as land information and consultations, acceptance of files without power of attorney, product collection, and data updates,” he said.
In addition to ensuring optimal public services, Andi Reza Fitrian Eru Setiawan also wants every employee to still enjoy the moment of gathering with family during this Eid holiday.
“At the Land Offices, a rotational duty system has been implemented alternately each day. Employees enter on a staggered basis so that they also have the opportunity to gather with their respective families,” he added.
Through these services, travellers are also encouraged to update data on land certificates, particularly those issued before 1997. Data updates are important to ensure that land parcels are mapped in the digital system and recorded in the national land map, thereby providing stronger legal certainty.
“By utilising the homecoming momentum, it is hoped that the public can more easily resolve various land needs. The Ministry of ATR/BPN also hopes that the process of updating old certificate data can run well to achieve sustainable improvements in the quality of national land data,” he concluded.
