Kapanlagi.com - The Indonesian government continuously strives to ensure that social assistance (bansos) reaches the communities that truly need it. One key to accessing this assistance program is being registered in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS). DTKS is the primary data foundation used by the Ministry of Social Affairs to determine who is eligible to receive various social assistance programs, such as the Family Hope Program (PKH), Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), and Direct Cash Assistance (BLT).
For those of you who want to receive social assistance, the first step you need to take is to register yourself in DTKS. The government now provides two very easy registration methods: online through the Check Bansos Kemensos application, or offline at the nearest sub-district or village office. For those who do not have internet access or prefer to register in person, the offline method is the right choice.
Citing from Kapanlagi.com on Wednesday (5/2/2025), here is a complete guide for managing DTKS registration offline at the sub-district office. We will also explain the requirements that need to be prepared, the stages of the verification process, as well as the validation steps until your data is accepted by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Prepare yourself to receive the assistance you need!
1. What is DTKS and Why is it Important to Register?
DTKS, or Integrated Social Welfare Data, is a vital information window for communities in need of welfare support from the government.
This system serves as a selection tool to determine who is eligible to receive various social assistance programs, such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) which provides conditional cash assistance to underprivileged families, to the Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) which supports the education of children from low-income families.
However, it is important to note that being registered in DTKS is not an automatic guarantee to receive assistance, but rather a crucial first step. Therefore, for those who feel they qualify, please register yourself in DTKS to have the opportunity to receive the much-needed assistance!
2. Requirements and Documents to Prepare
Before you proceed to the offline DTKS registration process, make sure all important documents are ready! Prepare the original and photocopy of your Identity Card (KTP), the original and photocopy of the Family Card (KK), as well as a letter of introduction from the RT/RW explaining your economic condition. If necessary, do not forget to include a letter of incapacity from the village office.
Additional documents such as proof of home ownership or electricity bills can also be strong supporting evidence. All these requirements are designed to ensure that only those who are truly eligible will be registered in the DTKS and have the opportunity to receive social assistance from the government.
3. Steps for Offline DTKS Registration
Want to register for DTKS offline? Follow these easy steps! First, prepare important documents such as the original Identity Card (KTP) and Family Card (KK), along with their photocopies to expedite the process. Next, visit the village or sub-district office according to your residence during working hours so that the staff is ready to assist.
Politely express your intention to register for DTKS so that the data recording process goes smoothly. Your proposal will then be discussed in a village meeting to determine eligibility as a recipient of social assistance. The results of the meeting will be documented in a report signed by the village head or sub-district head as proof of the process.
After that, the Social Service will verify the data, including a home visit to ensure the accuracy of the information. Your data will be input into the Social Welfare Information System (SIKS), and after verification by the regent or mayor, it will be submitted to the governor and relevant ministries. Prepare yourself, as this process can take several days to several weeks!
4. Important Things to Note
When registering for DTKS, there are several crucial things you need to remember to ensure a smooth process. First, this registration is free, so if anyone asks for a fee, report it immediately! Also, make sure you meet the criteria as a poor or vulnerable citizen before applying. Accuracy of data is key—fill it out carefully and completely so your application is not hindered.
The registration process can take varying amounts of time, so be patient and keep monitoring its progress. Registering through the village office is a smart step to obtain social assistance. By following this guide and staying updated through official sources, you will increase your chances of successful registration. I hope this information is useful for you!
