JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Like other Indonesian citizens, believers of different faiths have the right to receive services from the government. The two things they are now starting to accept are the issuance of citizenry documents and belief education services.
The director general of Population and Civil Registration at the Home Ministry, Zudan Arif Fakhrulloh, said believers of faiths had received services for biodata recording and issuance of population identification number (NIK), family cards (KK), e-IDs, and marriage registration. In the e-ID, the religion section is replaced with faith, alongside the wording “Faith in God The Almighty”. The same applies for the family cards.
