KTP Apocalypse Starting September 2024, 9 Million Indonesian Citizens Are Ready

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Activation of Digital Population Identity (IKD) or Digital KTP will be fully accessible next September. This was stated by the Minister for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform, Azwar Anas.

“Hopefully this entire platform (INA Digital) will be completed by the end of September,” said Azwar Anas at the Presidential Palace, Wednesday (22/5/2024).

Azwar also explained that currently 9 million Indonesians have IKD, but this number is still far from expectations. If you look at the data from the Directorate General of Dukcapil, Ministry of Home Affairs, as of the first semester of 2023, the population of Indonesia is 279,118,866.

“Because of what? To get a digital identity card now you still have to go to the sub-district, our future target is that once our digital ID is integrated, just use facial recognition, then we will get an IKD,” he said.

IKD or digital KTP is part of Govtech Indonesia which is managed by Perum Peruri.

There are nine priority services that will be available on the application, namely health, education, social assistance, digital identity based on population data, one Indonesian data service, financial transactions, service portal integration, state apparatus services, and online SIM.

This service was originally going to be launched this May or June. However, according to Azwar, the launch of GovTech Indonesia will be adjusted further.

“Previously, this month it would be adjusted. But the president’s hope is not just to launch it, but to have some integration of these services running, our target is to trim several applications and with govtech there will be some acceleration, especially the integration of IKD and digital identity as SSO (single sign on), “The SSO will use INA Pass. The target is that 7 Ministries, Institutions plus BPJS and also employment will be integrated with one national portal following the integration,” said Azwar.
