This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Child Identity Card (KIA) policy in Bengkulu City, as regulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation No. 2 of 2016. The KIA program is designed to ensure every child under the age of 17 receives an official identity card, promoting their rights to civil registration, access to public services, and protection. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research gathers data through interviews, observations, and documentation. Wayne Parsons’ formative and summative evaluation models were employed to analyze the program’s effectiveness and impact. Findings show that although the KIA implementation has followed the formal Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), the actual ownership rate remains below the national target of 75%, with only 51.31% of eligible children possessing the card in 2023. Contributing factors include public unawareness, lack of continuous socialization, and limited resources—such as only one functioning card-printing machine. Despite existing digital platforms and hospital integration efforts (e.g., 3-in-1 birth registration systems), societal perception about the importance of KIA remains low, with many believing that a birth certificate alone is sufficient. This study suggests the need for ongoing public education campaigns, improved infrastructure, and stronger parental engagement to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the KIA program. Strengthening inter-agency partnerships, such as collaborations with schools and businesses, is also essential in boosting participation and enhancing policy impact
