Students were enthusiast

Tebet Sub-district's Population and Civil Registration Sector Head, Lydia, said the e-ID card recording for students is held to respond Act No 23/2007 about Population Administration.

"Not only recording e-ID card, there was also activating digital population identity," she said, Wednesday (9/11).

Lydia explained that the recording of the 16-year-old student's e-KTP includes biometric recording consisting of fingerprints, photos, corneas, and signature recording.
