# Family Card (KK): new households, changes and replacements

**How do I get a new, updated or replacement Family Card (KK)?**

A Kartu Keluarga, usually called KK, records household members and their details. Choose the Dukcapil service for your actual reason: a new household, changed information, or replacement of a lost or damaged document. Supporting evidence depends on the change. A KK sent as a PDF with an electronic signature (QR code) is valid when you print it yourself on A4 80 gsm HVS paper.

## What you need to get or update a Family Card (KK)

- The existing KK if available.
- The form matching the application reason.
- Evidence of the event or change, such as a marriage, birth or other relevant document.
- For loss, the police loss statement; for damage, the damaged KK, following local requirements.

## How to get or update a Family Card (KK)

1. **Identify the reason.** Describe exactly what needs to be created or changed.
2. **Check local requirements.** Read your district/city checklist and the relevant data-change form.
3. **Prepare evidence.** Use documents that establish the event or correct information.
4. **Apply officially.** Submit through the authorised channel and keep the reference number.
5. **Check the result.** Review spelling, relationships and every requested change on the new KK.

## How much it costs to get or update a Family Card (KK)

Population-document services are free. Completion depends on local arrangements and whether the documents are complete.

KK requirements by reason (Dukcapil national rules)

| Reason | Main requirements | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Forming a new family | F-1.02; copy of marriage book/certificate or divorce certificate | If the marriage is unregistered: SPTJM form F-1.05 signed by both parties |
| Split at the same address | F-1.02; old KK; aged at least 17, married or previously married (holds a KTP-el) | Unmarried people may split once they are 17 |
| Change of details | F-1.02 and F-1.06; old KK; proof of change (e.g. passport, SKPWNI, certificate) | Child under 17 changing KK: parental care statement and host household statement |
| Lost | F-1.02; police loss report | If you still have the signed KK PDF, you can reprint it yourself |
| Damaged | F-1.02; the damaged KK | No KTP-el copy needed because the NIK is on the form |

## The supporting document follows the change

Adding a child, recording a marriage, separating households and correcting a birth date are different situations. A single generic checklist may miss evidence needed for your case. Explain the change before submitting and retain originals as required.

For loss and damage, distinguish the evidence: a loss report is associated with a lost document, while a damaged document should be provided for a damage replacement. Use your local checklist for the full procedure.

## Check linked services after the KK is issued

Review the document before using it elsewhere. Request any further correction through Dukcapil; do not manually edit a downloaded KK.

Make a list of services using the changed information, such as schools and BPJS Kesehatan. Check with each provider whether updates are required. A changed KK does not guarantee all other accounts update that day.

## Print your own KK and handle a move through IKD

Dukcapil explained in September 2026 that KK print requests are available in the Pelayanan menu of the IKD app. You need an active IKD account (registered with your NIK, email and phone number, face verification, then a QR scan in front of Dukcapil or sub-district staff) and a working email address. Supporting documents are uploaded digitally, and the result is a PDF sent by email.

For a change of address, IKD offers an individual certificate of move (Surat Keterangan Pindah Individu) without an RT/RW covering letter. An approved SKPWNI is emailed and can be printed on A4 80 gsm HVS paper for updating the KK and KTP-el at your destination.

## Things to check carefully

- Do not submit an unrelated form just because it is easier to find.
- Check names and family relationships before using the new document.
- Protect the personal details of all household members.
- An electronically signed KK needs no special paper, stamp or wet signature; check authenticity by scanning the QR code rather than paying for unofficial legalisation.

## Frequently asked questions

### Are requirements the same for every change?

No. The reason for applying determines the supporting documents.

### What should I prepare for a lost KK?

Check the local replacement checklist, including the police loss statement. A damaged KK follows a different evidence route.

### Will BPJS and school data update automatically?

Do not assume so. Confirm the update process with each service after checking the new KK.

### How do I split from my parents' KK?

If you stay at the same address, apply for a new KK for a split: complete F-1.02, attach the old KK, and you must be at least 17, married or previously married (shown by a KTP-el). Unmarried people may split once they are 17. After marriage, use the new-family route with a copy of the marriage book or certificate.

### How do I add a newborn to the KK?

Through birth registration. Dukcapil handles birth registration in the IKD app (Kelahiran WNI menu): one application produces the birth certificate, the child's NIK and an updated KK, sent by email. At the office, Regulation 19/2018 describes a combined birth certificate, KK and child ID card (KIA) service.

### Can I print my own KK?

Yes. With an active IKD account, go to Pelayanan > Permohonan Cetak Kartu Keluarga. After staff verify it, the KK PDF is emailed and can be printed on A4 80 gsm HVS paper. The QR code is an electronic signature that can be scanned to check authenticity. If you lose a KK but still have its PDF, simply print it again.

### How long does a new KK take?

Minister of Home Affairs Regulation 19/2018 requires the KK to be issued within 1 hour and no later than 24 hours after requirements are declared complete, unless the network or equipment fails. If it takes longer, report it to Dukcapil or the local complaints call centre.

### A child under 17 needs to join a relative's KK. What is required?

For a child under 17 moving into another KK, Dukcapil asks for a care statement from the parents and a statement from the receiving head of household agreeing to take the child in, in addition to F-1.02, F-1.06, the old KK and proof of the move.
