<![CDATA[The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected various sectors, including notarial legal services in Indonesia. The implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), work-from-home arrangements, and social distancing has impeded the execution of authentic deeds, which has traditionally required face-to-face interaction. Meanwhile, public demand for notarial services has continued, creating a need for more flexible, information-technology-based legal services. This study aims to analyze the regulation and procedures for executing authentic deeds during the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine the implementation of the Cyber Notary concept within the Indonesian legal system. The study employs a normative-empirical legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches. Data were obtained through a literature review and interviews with informants involved in notarial practice. The findings show that authentic deeds in Indonesia continue to be executed conventionally because the Notary Office Law (UUJN) requires the physical presence of the parties before a notary. Moreover, Cyber Notary has yet to be implemented optimally due to conflicts between Article 15(3) and Article 16(1)(m) of the UUJN and Article 5(4) of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). Accordingly, regulatory reform and legal harmonization are required to ensure legal certainty for the implementation of Cyber Notary in Indonesia as part of modernizing notarial services in the digital era.]]>
