<![CDATA[In the context of law enforcement, a notary is a public official who works in the legal industry and contributes to societal legal certainty. According to Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning the Position of Notary, a notary is a state organ authorized by the state (hence abbreviated as UUJN). There is legal confusion for notaries in the event that they make mistakes in the performance of their responsibilities and authorities due to the overlap between the application of criminal law governed in the Penal Code (KUHP) and the UUJN.
