Agus hopes that this implementation will mean that passport numbers will be valid for life.
“My hope is that with one passport, hopefully this (number) will be valid for life. Later, the beautiful number can be replaced with PNBP (Non-Tax State Revenue),” he said.
The former Deputy Chief of Police said that many people are confused about the existence of ordinary and electronic passports.He wants there to be only one passport material for the future.
“I hope that by 2027 we will be able to implement one passport. Please immediately use up what is left. Prepare one type of passport that will be valid throughout Indonesia,” he said.
Apart from that, Agus also wants the passport validity period to return to just 5 years.Currently, passport validity can be up to 10 years.After the validity period expires, the passport owner must renew it again if he wants to keep it active.
“(The validity period) was 10 years, reversed to 5 years,” he said.
“Because only certain people are blessed by the Almighty whose face does not change for 5 years. Is that true or not? Usually it changes after 5 years or more. So if possible, we can just return it to 5 years. Yes, be grateful to those who are blessed whose face has not changed for more than 5 years,” he added.
