NIK (Nomor Induk Kependudukan) - Identity Number

[jstar]

Since there is often (a recurring) confusion about the NIK, the unique number for every citizen and registered resident and which you get when you're on ITAS/ITAP, and which you need quite often, I dug up an explanation similar to the one we used before:


The NIK is a code of 16 digits. If we write it as PPKKCC-DDMMYY-NNNN, then:

1. The first 6 digits (PPKKCC) are the area code in which the NIK was first registered, where PP is the province code, the KK is the district code within the province, and CC is the kecamatan code within the KK regency or city. These codes are established by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
2. The second 6 digits (DDMMYY) obviously are the date of birth of the NIK owner in two-digit day, two-digit month, and two-digit year format. Due to the absence of a gender code in the NIK, to differentiate the male and female population, female residents get 40 added to the date of birth.
3. The third 4 digits group (NNNN) is a unique serial number or number assigned to the NIK owners (for persons who have the same birth date in one sub-district), so no residents have the same NIK.

Example:

A person who was born on August 17, 1945 and registered first in Gambir Sub-district, the City of Central Jakarta, DKI Jakarta Province, will have NIK 3171011708450001 (if male) and 3171015708450001 (if female), where:

• 317101 is the code of District Gambir, Central Jakarta, DKI Jakarta.
• 170845 is the day, month, and year of birth in double-digit format if male. If it concerns a female, 40 would be added to the day field so it would be 570845.
• 0001 is the serial number or unique sequential number at registration.

So by reading the NIK, we can immediately know the location of the district where the person was initially registered, the birth date, and the gender.


Original text:

Misalkan 16 digit angka-angka tersebut kita tuliskan menjadi PPKKCC-DDMMYY-NNNN, maka:

• 6 digit pertama (PPKKCC) adalah kode kecamatan di mana NIK pertama kali didaftarkan, di mana PP merupakan kode provinsi, KK merupakan kode kabupaten/kota dalam provinsi PP, dan CC merupakan kode kecamatan dalam kabupaten/kota KK. Kode-kode ini adalah kode yang ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Dalam Negeri. (Untuk melihat kode kecamatan yang ada di seluruh wilayah Jabodetabek, silakan klik di sini)
• 6 digit kedua (DDMMYY) adalah tanggal lahir pemilik NIK dalam format dua digit hari, dua digit bulan, dan dua digit tahun. Dikarenakan tidak ada kode jenis kelamin dalam NIK, maka untuk membedakan penduduk laki-laki dan penduduk perempuan, untuk penduduk perempuan ditambahkan angka 40 pada tanggal lahir.
• 4 digit ketiga (NNNN) adalah nomor urut atau nomor unik yang diberikan kepada pemilik NIK untuk orang-orang yang memiliki tanggal lahir dan jenis kelamin yang sama pada satu kecamatan, sehingga tidak ada penduduk yang memiliki NIK yang sama.

Contoh:

Seseorang penduduk yang lahir pada tanggal 17 Agustus 1945 dan terdaftar pertama kali di Kecamatan Gambir, Kota Administrasi Jakarta Pusat, Provinsi DKI Jakarta akan memiliki NIK 3171011708450001 (jika laki-laki) dan 3171015708450001 (jika perempuan) di mana:

• 317101 merupakan kode Kecamatan Gambir, Kota Administrasi Jakarta Pusat, Provinsi DKI Jakarta.
• 170845 merupakan tanggal, bulan, dan tahun lahir dalam format dua digit jika laki-laki. Jika perempuan, tanggal lahir ditambahkan 40 sehingga menjadi 570845.
• 0001 merupakan nomor urut atau nomor unik saat pendaftaran.

Sehingga dengan membaca NIK, kita bisa langsung tahu lokasi kecamatan di mana penduduk tersebut pertama kali didaftarkan, tanggal lahir, dan jenis kelamin.

Stupid question but where can you find this number on the e-kitas? I can't see it on mine?

You won't find it there but on your ID card. So the KTP for ITAP holders and the SKTT for ITAS holders.

Although in my experience, I think those NIKs for foreigners are not in the national database, like WNI's. That's why they don't work for registering cell phones.

That could be. Or perhaps the Telcom companies don’t have access to our NIKs? Since with purchasing cars etc. there are no issues.

Guys so how can I get the NIK as I don't see it on my KITAP Card?

@JEC333
As a KITAP holder, you should either have or be applying for a KTP-OA (Kartu Tanda Penduduk - Orang Asing) from Catatn Sipil. It is an ID card, with your photo on it. The number is written on there, at the top.

I think the NIK is also on the Kartu Keluarga (also from the Catatan Sipil), but I don't have mine handy to check at the moment.

You are requited by law to apply for these documents after you receive your KITAP, so if you can't find them then you have an additional problem to solve, on top of not having immediate access to a NIK (really, they were pretty forgiving when I was late applying).

Mine worked just fine for registering 4 sims.

@JEC333 as @HappyMan said, you need to go to Dukcapil and get KTP-Orang Asing and Kartu Keluarga.

This has me concerned. Mine was not able to work when attempting to register a sim. Could this mean the KTP-OA could be illegitemate?

It seems that lately there is a back log for NIK numbers to be entered into all the relevant databases or the system never worked well to start with. I had to have my NIK manually entered into the system to receive the vaccine. It was a problem at first but once someone agreed to enter it manually things worked out. As to whether all of the systems have been updated with my NIK, I have no idea. I guess I will cross that bridge when/if I get to it.

My wife had that problem when we moved one time and after that could never register a sim I could but she, an Indonesian citizen could not. She had it processed by a guy from the Kantor Kecamatan for a price but being the CatSip was not close, and the Kacamatan was right next door, it seemed an easier way.

When she started having problems she was told her KK was always rejected. She went to CatSip, nope, no problems. This happened 3 times. This time when we moved went to the newly built CatSip with new people and they said her KK was messed up. Made her file a police report actually that it was lost and with that report they gve her a new one. Actually, same as mine.

So, perhaps a mistake was made on yours or someone processed it that had no idea of how it's done and now something is wrong with it. I would think something somewhere is wrong. Foreigners can also use their passport and visa numbers to register sims. I did that once.

Hello,
Seems like the info page needs an update, at least for Jakarta.
The "green card" version of SKTT got replaced by a purely digital softcopy document with QR code. It worked perfectly fine for vaccination registration.

In Jakarta, have your sponsor (company HR, Indonesian spouse, etc...) create an account here:

SILAPORLAGI

silaporlagi-dukcapil.jakarta.go.id

Submit documents here:

A few remarks:

• different to other government websites this one actually works. Very positive experience.
• submission only during office hours and draft cannot be properly saved in off-hours, so don't waste your time preparing the documents outside of office hours.
• attachments in JPEG format, hence a bit of PDF-file splitting might be needed. The website/submission tool is sufficiently flexible to add multiple attachments etc.
• website notifications via email, download of PDF via website, very convenient.
• free of charge!
• fast! - approx 1 day from submission to SKTT if submitted docs are complete.

Disclaimer: so far I only processed SKTT through this website, didn't try yet for KTP KK WNA (will update later), or EPO (no plans for the latter).

I see it there in the screen shot, but had no idea that an EPO even went through Catatan Sipil. Bizarre.

It's not the immigration EPO, but the cancellation of SKTT, also called Surat Keterangan Pindah Keluar Negeri (SKPLN)

 

[Lemonyellow]

I got my digital sktt or whatever they call it earlier this year when I extended my Kitas. Free of charge always. But Disdukcapil website doesn't have the option to apply online, so I went there and it took one week to get the sktt in my mail.
