The Indonesian government is working toward improving civil identity coverage and modernizing population data systems. The Ministry of Home Affairs has set a target of 100 percent birth certificate coverage by 2026, noting that while national coverage exceeds 96 percent, significant regional disparities exist in areas such as Papua Pegunungan and Papua Tengah.

In parallel, the government has finalized the draft for the Population Administration Bill (RUU Adminduk). This legislation aims to transform the National Identity Number (NIK) into a Single Identity Number to create a unified source of truth for population data. The bill involves coordination across multiple ministries to enhance public service delivery, improve development planning precision, and strengthen personal data protection.
