The Jakarta Provincial Government continues to improve services to its residents. In terms of proposing birth certificates for instance, the Government has a standard service time standard that is only 15 minutes. The process is easy and free.

The process is very easy, so avoid brokers

North Jakarta Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) Sub-agency Head, Edward Idris explained that residents who need birth certificate services can be done in two ways. The first is by coming to the Dukcapil Agency Service unit in the urban village office and the second is via ALPUKAT Betawi application that can be downloaded through Playstore.

"The one who has to come to propose is the family head. If all the requirements are complete and we can finish the process in only 15 minutes," he expressed, Friday (12/16).

Requirements that must be met are, including the Family Card (KK) and Parent's e-KTP (electronic ID card), Parents' Marriage Book, Born Certificate from a doctor/midwife/hospital or a photocopy of two witnesses. If the requirements are complete, the file submission will be processed according to the applicable rules.

The submission file is included for children who were born more than 60 days and so on. It is because according to the previous rules, the child birth certificate must be proposed before 60 days after birth.

As for those who are busy or do not have time to come to the service counter, they can propose the certificate via the ALPUKAT Betawi application. If it is done online or via application, they must attach the requirements needed digitally.

This application can be accessed via an Android mobile phone and each application only applies to one user ID according to the registered email address. The process via the application according to the rules is no later than two days.

He then asserted then the services conducted online or offline are free of charge. If there is completeness cannot be met, the applicant must contact the service counter officers. Like the case of single parents without a marriage certificate, they will be directed to make a statement reinforced by RT/RW's statement as a basis.

Later on, the request will still be processed legally with discretion considering the purpose of goodness and maintaining the future of children.

"This birth certificate service is immediately integrated with a child identity card (KIA) and a family card," he uttered.

In the event of a case of adults who are proposing birth certificates for themselves, the applicant must still complete the document following the requirements plus a photocopy of Diploma and marriage certificate. However, if the document is still incomplete, they will be directed to fill out the Absolute Responsibility Letter (SPTJM) form.

"The SPTJM contains the information needed and is the basis for processing the submission. The process is very easy, so avoid brokers," he stressed.
