This is a common problem in poor nations and probably worse in the larger ones. Poor nations simply cannot afford the infrastructure necessary to maintain a deep bureaucracy that tracks everything and everyone. In addition, some of the people living there are not educated and too poor to bother with interacting with the government for a wide variety of reasons. Indonesia in particular is a HUGE nation and makes Mexico look wealthy. Over 270 mil people, on thousands of islands, stretching across thousands of miles. Personally, I'm amazed it's been able to hold itself together over the decades.
