PENERBITAN SURAT KETERANGAN CATATAN KEPOLISIAN (SKCK) DALAM PERSPEKTIF PERLINDUNGAN HAK ASASI MANUSIA

Abstract

A Police Clearance Certificate (SKCK) is a document issued by the
Indonesian National Police (Polri) through its Intelligence and Security function to
applicants/members of the public to certify that the applicant has never been involved
in a crime or other offense. SKCKs are often required for job applications, public office
candidacy, educational registration, and other legal document processing. However,
in practice, the SKCK issuance policy often poses challenges from a human rights
perspective, especially for former convicts or individuals with past legal convictions.
Issues include how the issuance of Police Clearance Certificates is regulated and the
social and legal impacts experienced by individuals who have difficulty obtaining
Police Clearance Certificates due to past criminal records.
