Through the E-KTP service, updating the population database is basically carried out from the results of regular services through reporting on population registration and civil registration, namely from the results of reporting experienced by every resident in the region of Sangatta Utara District but the regular service referred to is not running as it should and does not produce an accurate and up to date population database. Therefore, this study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the policy for making identity cards (E-KTP) in Sangatta Utara District, East Kutai Regency along with the factors that encourage and hinder the implementation of policies based on Permendagri No. 61 of 2015 concerning the requirements, scope, and procedures for granting Ases rights as well as the use of population identification numbers, population data and electronic identity cards in Sangatta Utara District through a descriptive-qualitative approach, this study has succeeded in concluding that the implementation of policies based on Permendagri No. 61 of 2015 is still not optimal. The supporting factor for the implementation of E-KTP making in North Sangatta District is the socialization of the E-KTP making policy which has been done very well and clearly, while the inhibiting factor for the implementation of the E-KTP making policy is the lack of awareness from the community, lack of competent personnel in carrying out the making.
