"If proven guilty, civil servants have taken oaths and signed integrity statements. The regulations and employment laws are clear. Actions will be taken accordingly," he said.

"If it involves criminal matters, sanctions will follow. But God willing, this is most likely done by outside parties," he added.

Yudi also noted that unauthorized use of the Disdukcapil name by outsiders is not new.

"There have been many cases of impersonation, including illegal fees collected in our name by people who are not Disdukcapil staff," he revealed.

Residents urged to report lost KTPs immediately

Disdukcapil Semarang urges residents who lose their KTP to promptly report to the police and apply for a replacement document.

"First, those who lose their KTP should immediately report to the police, obtain a police statement, and then apply for a new KTP with us," Yudi said.

He explained that once a new KTP is issued, the old one becomes invalid and cannot be used for any official transactions.

"The old KTP will be invalid automatically. Fake KTPs also can’t be used for transactions with official institutions," he added.
