Citizens who have registered their electronic identity (e-ID) card data at the event can get their printed e-ID at their resident subdistrict offices. The event’s e-ID service saw overwhelming interest from Jakartans and residents of nearby cities.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Electronic ID cards (e-IDs) cannot be processed at the district and subdistrict offices of all provinces across the country. Recording data and printing e-IDs can only be done at subdistrict offices in Jakarta.
