ABOUT CIN

Cultural identities open to public checking.

CIN is a cross-border public registry that helps identify, record, and check cultural works through a consistent number.

01

What is CIN?

Cultural Identification Number gives each cultural-work record a referenceable identity. Active records are publicly checkable, while submissions are reviewed before publication.

02

Number format

IDN + 6 digit unik + 4 digit tahun + 1 digit OPK

Indonesia uses the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code IDN. The final digit identifies one of the 10 Objects of Cultural Advancement.

03

Community-centered

Information should be prepared with communities or custodians and must not disclose sacred, restricted, or sensitive knowledge.

04

System boundaries

CIN is not UNESCO certification, an authenticity determination, or a replacement for official national inventories. CIN is an identification and public-checking tool.
