The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the E-KTP service has not been optimal even though various efforts have been made, it can be seen from the unachieved target for the electronic E-KTP which is caused by several factors, such as the lack of effective socialization about the importance of the E-KTP, data recording tools, damaged networks, inadequate staff resources, and low public awareness of the importance of the E-KTP.
