Abstract

The integration of technology into various sectors has significantly increased productivity, including in the notarial field, where administrative and time-based tasks can be revolutionized. The amendment to Article 5 paragraph (4) of Law Number 11 Year 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions, through Law Number 1 Year 2024, establishes notarial deeds as electronic documents with legal evidentiary power. This development creates opportunities for implementing the "cyber notary" concept as outlined in Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Notary Position. This study aims to analyze the potential application of the "cyber notary" concept within the framework of Indonesian law. A normative juridical research method was employed, using primary and secondary data analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that the absence of a clear definition of "cyber notary" often leads to misconceptions, such as equating it with performing notarial duties online. The study identifies alternatives for notaries to integrate "cyber notary" practices while adhering to existing legal frameworks and professional standards. The research highlights the necessity of amending the Notary Position Law to fully implement the "cyber notary" concept. Furthermore, specialized applications are required to support the creation of electronic deeds by notaries. These findings underline the importance of legal and technological reforms to enhance the effectiveness, security, and accessibility of notarial services in the digital era.
