Legal Certainty of Ownership of Electronic Certificates as Proof of Control of Land Rights in the Indonesian Land System

Abstract

Land certificates are a form of legality that can provide legal force for landowners. Land certificates are analog documents held by each party with authority over the land. In 2021, the ATR/BPN Ministry will form a regulation that land certificates will be realized in electronic land certificates. The electronic land certificate has a substitution function that replaces conventional certificates in the form of analog documents. However, there are several problems related to implementing the electronic certificate. One of the problems related to electronic certificates is public concern regarding the position of electronic certificates in the legal realm and the legal certainty possessed by certificate holders. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the position and legal certainty of ownership of electronic land certificates as proof of land rights. The research method used is juridical-normative qualitative through a literature study approach. The study results show that ownership of electronic land certificates has a strong position in the eyes of the law and has legal certainty that can be accounted for.
