Perlinsos is significant for a real-world use of DPI as it combines digital identity, cross-agency data exchange and beneficiary verification mechanisms. The digitized public service is designed to make the programme more efficient for its end users and generate major cost savings for the government. These benefits are the broad goals of DPI, making Indonesia’s “dress rehearsal” a useful test. In addition, Indonesia has issued its first birth certificate generated directly through integrated health–civil registry data. It marks a significant step toward faster, more seamless digital public services.
