Abstract

Advancements in information technology have brought significant changes to various aspects of law, including notarial practices. One of the main challenges in the digital era is how notaries can adapt their services to technological advancements, particularly in conducting virtual meetings for contract creation. Law Number 30 of 2004 regarding Notary Positions, as amended by Law Number 2 of 2014 (UUJN), still mandates physical presence in the creation of authentic deeds, while Law Number 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE) has recognized the validity of electronic documents as legal evidence. This research aims to legally discuss the authority of notaries in conducting virtual meetings for contract creation, using a normative approach that emphasizes the analysis of legislation. The findings indicate a gap between existing regulations, where the need for digitalization in notarial services has not been fully accommodated within the current legal system. Therefore, legal reform is required to provide legal certainty for notaries in facing the digital era without neglecting the principle of authenticity in notarial deeds.
