Abstract

This study examines the legal responsibilities of Substitute Notaries (Notaris Pengganti) after their term of office concludes, particularly regarding the authenticity of the deeds they created. Employing normative legal research methodology, this article analyzes secondary legal materials, statutes, and doctrinal sources. Findings show that Substitute Notaries possess full authority akin to permanent Notaries, encompassing deed preparation and document legalization, yet their responsibilities continue even after their official tenure ends. Substitute Notaries remain personally accountable civilly, criminally, and administratively if their acts result in legal harm or contain inaccuracies. Consequently, the study emphasizes the necessity for clear regulatory frameworks governing the post-tenure responsibilities of Substitute Notaries. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of professional ethics education and proactive supervision to strengthen legal certainty and safeguard the interests of involved parties. Implementing these measures would significantly reduce potential disputes and maintain public confidence in the notarial profession
