This document is highly needed for various administrative purposes, ranging from applying for jobs in the private and government sectors, registering as a civil servant or candidate for civil servant, to processing visas and residence permits for overseas purposes.

Moreover, SKCK is also required for continuing education at certain institutions and various other needs such as changing addresses or child adoption. It is important to note that SKCK is valid for six months, and if it expires, the applicant can extend it by meeting the specified requirements.
