Usage Notes or Etymology
The word verifikasi originates from the Latin verificatio, derived from the verb verificare, a compound of verus (true) and facere (to make or to do). It entered the Indonesian language through Dutch verificatie and English verification during the colonial period and subsequent administrative modernization of Indonesia. In formal and bureaucratic Indonesian contexts, “verifikasi” is widely used across government, banking, law, and information technology domains. It refers to official procedures that ensure the validity of data or an entity. Its usage has expanded significantly with the digitalization of public services, particularly in electronic “identity verification” systems and two-factor authentication.
