Although it has been regulated in government regulations, there are still many children and adults who do not have birth certificates. So the domestic government is making efforts to increase ownership of birth certificates, a new movement in society, namely PERMENDAGRI Number 09 of 2016 concerning Acceleration of Coverage of Birth Certificate Ownership and Absolute Responsibility Statement Letters. The formulation of the problem in this study is: How is the analysis of the benefits of birth registration through a statement of absolute responsibility at the Office of the Civil Registration and Registration of Ponorogo Regency? How is the analysis of the benefits of using a statement of absolute responsibility as a substitute for a marriage certificate in the requirements for birth registration at the Office of the Civil Registration and Registration of Ponorogo Regency? This research is an empirical legal research with field research using a qualitative approach. In data collection techniques, researchers use observation, interview, and documentation techniques. From this study, it was concluded, based on the maslahah theory that the registration of birth certificates through a statement of absolute responsibility at the DISDUKCAPIL Ponorogo Regency is a maslahah policy because it contains maslahah values, namely: by using SPTJM children and the community can get their rights to birth certificates as authentic evidence before the law, avoid discrimination, fulfill their rights as citizens and even present maslahah for the country in the RPJMN. Referring to the opinion of the Indonesian Ulama Asrorun Niam that the policy on the policy of PERMENDAGRI Number 09 of 2016 on the use of SPTJM for the truth of husband and wife couples has maslahah value.]]>
