The Indonesian Government is Preparing to Implement a Single National Passport System Starting in 2027 to Make Services Simpler and More Efficient

The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (KemenImipas), plans to streamline all existing passport types into a single national passport that will be introduced in 2027. This policy aims to improve service efficiency and standardize travel documents, replacing the current use of regular passports, laminated electronic passports, and polycarbonate passports.

In addition, the government is targeting the implementation of a lifetime passport number, allowing holders to retain the same passport number for life without the need to change it each time the passport is renewed. This initiative is part of a broader transformation of immigration services that will be carried out gradually ahead of full implementation in 2027.
