Thus, it is enough for the applicant to show the original file when he comes to the immigration office, thereby reducing face-to-face time.
The superior features of the M-Passport include Payment of PNBP in Advance, Checking the Status of Passport Applications, Validation of Dukcapil NIK, Rescheduling of Arrival Schedules, and Integration of Indonesian Travel Documents.
