A
s many school-aged children in Depok, West Java, do not have birth certificates, the city administration has advised parents to undergo the documentation process of such certificates through schools.
Depok Civil Registry and Demography Agency (Disdukcapil) head Misbahul Munir said the administration had instructed schools to assist in the process. “The schools would submit requests to the city technical management unit (UPT) in the city’s 11 districts, which have been tasked to accommodate the process,” he said as quoted by wartakotalive.com on Monday.
Misbahul added that the lack of birth certificates could hinder the students from pursuing higher education, particularly in the registration and administrative process.
He said that two UPTs, in Cimanggis and in Tapos, had begun actively processing the birth certificate requests and hoped for more involvement from other units in the future.
“We appreciate schools and UPTs that have actively participated in assisting in efforts to issue birth certificates for the children. Hopefully more people will submit requests to the UPT,” he said. (fac)
