Abstract

Everyone has a personal identity card as a form of residency. Therefore, in order to provide an acknowledgment, determination, and protection of personal status and legal status, it is necessary to have an administratively valid residence instrument, namely an identity card or currently packaged in the form of an electronic identity card. Based on Article 63 paragraph (1) of Act Number 24 of 2013 concerning Population Administration which has explained that residents of Indonesian citizens and foreigners who have a permanent residence permit or ITAP are 17 years or have married or have been married are required to have an electronic identity card. The impact of this policy is the emergence of a critical point of the discrepancy between the identity card policy for foreign citizens and the ITAP card or KITAP policy from immigration. This research uses a qualitative research method that aims to comprehensively explain the legal provision of foreign citizen electronic identification cards, specifically from an immigration perspective.

Furthermore, this research also aims to explain their positive and negative impacts and to answer some of the questions that occur in public regarding the existence of this identity card. Thus, the results of this research can explain explicitly that the electronic identity cards for foreign citizens aim to be a single identity in the era of digitalization and this new normal era. However, in terms of its application, there are still some colliding obstacles, such as there is a need for data integration between related ministries or agencies, especially concerning its implementation with the immigration perspective.
