<![CDATA[Auction Minutes occupy a strategic position within Indonesian auction and land law because they not only record the conduct of an auction but also function as evidentiary instruments directly connected with the transfer and registration of land rights. This study examines the validity of Auction Minutes, their legal position as the basis for land-right transfers, and the construction of legal certainty for auction purchasers following registration. The research employs normative legal methodology using statutory, conceptual, case, and legal-synchronization approaches. Primary legal materials include the Basic Agrarian Law, Mortgage Law, Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 as affected by Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021, Minister of Finance Regulation No. 122 of 2023, land-registration regulations, Supreme Court Circular Letter No. 4 of 2016, and relevant judicial decisions. The findings demonstrate that Auction Minutes constitute authentic deeds possessing complete evidentiary force, while an Extract of Auction Minutes constitutes the specific document expressly required for registering a transfer resulting from an auction. Legal uncertainty emerges when a valid auction has occurred but registration is obstructed by litigation, blocking, status-quo orders, or regulatory disharmony. This study proposes reconstructing the legal position of Auction Minutes by clearly separating their authentic, transfer, and registration functions to strengthen legal certainty for auction purchasers.]]>
