Birth Certificate Indonesia
A birth certificate Indonesia (Akte Lahir) is the first legal recognition of a child’s identity. To obtain that, a ‘Surat Keterangan Lahir’ and ‘Surat Keterangan Kelahiran‘ is provided by the hospital within 15 days of birth. In addition, they normally state a child’s name, date of birth and place of birth, as well as the parents’ details. A birth certificate is the most important document for proving a child’s identity and nationality. In addition, ithe local Indonesia registrar offices (Catatan Sipil) manage civil documents.
If the child is not born in a hospital, then the village chief takes care of this. All of these civil documents are used to establish identity, get married, go to school, buy property or a house, drive a car, get a job, obtain a passport for travel, or other legal purposes. For other people, such as immigrants who get permission to stay in Indonesia temporarily, have no obligation to notify of birth to the civil registrar. However, the civil registrar will proceed with the birth registration in case that there is a notification of birth from such immigrant.

Why Is an Indonesian Birth Certificate Important?
According to a national survey conducted, only 99.8% of Indonesian children under the age of five are registered at birth. Furthermore, among children from non-Indo households, the birth registration rate is only 79.2 per cent. This happens, even though Indonesian law states that any child born in Indonesia has the right to be registered and to obtain a birth certificate. In addition, this includes non-Indonesian parents or parents who have no legal status.
Without a birth certificate, a child can be denied the right to subsidized healthcare and other social welfare services. They can also face restrictions on travel that limit both future education and employment opportunities. Unregistered children are also more vulnerable to abuse, trafficking, and exploitation. Their legal status makes it more difficult for them to file complaints or access related service once they fall victims.
