Regulating the validity of notarial deeds through teleconference

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of notarial deeds made through teleconference during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method used is the normative juridical method with a statutory approach and legal concepts. The results showed that the validity of notarial deeds through teleconference during the COVID-19 pandemic can be seen from the arrangements contained in Law No. 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law No. 30 of 2004 concerning Notary Offices, which regulates the process of making notarial deeds electronically. In addition, there are also several court decisions that strengthen the validity of notarial deeds through teleconference. However, there needs to be strict supervision by notaries and the government to ensure that the process of making notarial deeds through teleconferencing is carried out transparently, accountably, and meets the legal requirements of conventionally made notarial deeds.
