| Summary: | Notary profession in Indonesia is currently affected by the influence of
technology and information, with the concept of cyber notary a notary can run his
authority with technology-based, such as making electronic certificate. This study
aims to determine the legal status of electronic certificates as cyber notary in notaries
practice, and to know the existence of the principle Tabellionis Officium Fideliter
Exercebo with the enactment of the concept of Electronic Certificate.
This study uses empirical - normative legal research. Normatively, this study
refers to the norms and principles of law contained in the legislation, while
empirically or sociologically by seeing some reality of law in society.
Based on the research it can be concluded that the legal status of electronic
certificates in Indonesia until now has not been recognized, the absence of legislation
governing the authentic certificate which is electronically made, so that the electronic
certificate cannot be considered as a certificate that has the strength of verification as
an authentic certification but a certificate under the counter. Until now, Legislation
has not yet provided opportunities to the implementation of electronic certificates in
Indonesia. The principle of Officium Tabellionis Fideliter Exercebo stating that the
notary should work traditionally is still maintained to this day. Practically, Notary
tends to favor more to maintain the existence of the principle Tabellionis Fideliter
Exercebo Officium, in this case in an authentic certificate.
