Indonesia has the largest Southeast Asian economy and is one of the biggest emerging market economies of the world. It is the 16th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the 7th largest in terms of GDP (PPP). Due to resilient economic growth, low government debt and prudent fiscal management, the Indonesian credit ratings have increased in financial service companies such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings and Moody’s. 

Adult Population is approximately 180 million people, with ~70% considered to be non-rural/urban. 

Indonesian resident identity card (NIK number)

The Indonesian Identity card, commonly known as KTP card, is a compulsory identification card for both Indonesians and foreigner residents. The KTP card is issued once an individual reaches the age of 17 or when they get married. Since 2011, the Government has issued an electronic version of the identity card called e-KTP (KTP elektronik), which contains a modern embedded microchip.

The National ID service verifies the NIK number to verify an individual’s identity along with Name, DOB and address. This identity card supports the verification of Indonesian citizens to satisfy the Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer regulations.

Indonesian IPification mobile verification

By verifying the user’s mobile device as part of the ID verification process, DataZoo can confirm that the user owns a mobile device before it’s used as a verification method. This confirmation can be linked to the verification of a user’s identity (using the ID card, NIK number, above) to enable you to pair the device with an individual.

The IPification IP-based authentication solution enables secure, seamless mobile number verification.

One by one verification standard

The one by one verification is a process by which you verify the citizens’ identity against one independent and reliable verification source, and these usually are Government-issued ID documents. In order to verify the authenticity of an Indonesian resident ID card, you will need to capture and enter the NIK number, full name, date of birth and address of the individual. This information is entered directly to the Data Zoo IDU server. None of this information is stored anywhere else and you will be returned with a match/no match for each data element.
