South Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Sub-agency held population socialization and registration for newcomers at RW 02, Pejaten Timur Urban Village, Pasar Minggu District.

Head of Population Registration Division for Jakarta Dukcapil Agency, Shanti said, the activity which was carried out simultaneously throughout Jakarta covered several things, one of which was socialization to residents who had just arrived in Jakarta to immediately report and be orderly in population administration.

"We also provide proactive services for all civil registration matters. These services include e-KTP registration for beginners, replacement of damaged or lost e-KTPs, birth certificate applications, Family Card data updates, and various other services," he said, Monday (4/6).

Shanti explained that regarding the data collection of new arrivals, the agency can only obtain data from those who officially report their arrival to the urban village by bringing an Indonesian Citizenship Transfer Certificate (SKPWNI).

As of today, 14 people have reported their arrival in Pejaten Timur Urban Village. Meanwhile, 105 people have been registered in Pasar Minggu District.

"Data collection began on March 25, just after the Eid al-Fitr holiday ended. This data will continue to change as reporting is completed," he added.

He continued that Jakarta is a city open to everyone. However, newcomers are expected to be prepared, including job skills, residency documents from their hometowns, and secure residency in Jakarta.

He explained that data collection will continue until April 30. In addition to today, his party has also scheduled another simultaneous activity for April 20. However, each urban village will continue to conduct independent socialization according to their respective schedules.

"The importance of this reporting has two sides to it. For the government, this data is necessary for accurate regional development planning, ensuring it aligns with real-world conditions. For residents, this reporting is crucial in emergency situations, such as disasters or accidents," he stated.
