The state's recognition of land rights owned by legal subjects, which gives rise to control over land, makes the State obliged to guarantee legal certainty regarding land rights by registering land and issuing certificates as proof of land ownership. Before the certificate is issued, there is proof of ownership or control of land called a Copy of Letter C/Letter C, Girik, Petuk D or Kekitir. This research aims to: 1) determine and analyze the mechanism for issuing Ownership Certificates by the Kendal Regency Land Office based on Village letter C. 2) know and analyze the legal certainty of the Certificate of Ownership Rights based on Village letter C at the Kendal Regency BPN. This research uses an empirical juridical approach, namely by examining secondary data first and then continuing by conducting research on primary data in the field. Holders of certificates of land rights according to the law in force in Indonesia will have stronger rights claims, but the problem will not be that simple, because there is definitely the potential for land disputes.
