Abstract

The evolution of land administration in Indonesia has entered a transformative phase marked by the integration of digital technologies, particularly in the form of electronic transactions and digital land certificates. This study aims to explore the legal certainty surrounding land rights within the framework of Indonesias digitalization efforts in the agrarian sector. Utilizing a qualitative methodology through a library research approach, the study examines legal doctrines, regulatory frameworks, academic discourse, and comparative legal systems to analyze the implications of electronic land certification. The research highlights the dualistic nature of progress and challengewhile digital systems promise efficiency, transparency, and broader access to legal rights, they also raise questions of data security, authentication, regulatory readiness, and potential legal conflicts between conventional and electronic documentation. The study finds that the success of digital land certification relies heavily on the harmonization of existing land laws, the establishment of a robust legal infrastructure, and the consistent application of principles ensuring legal certainty. Furthermore, the transition demands institutional commitment, cross-sectoral coordination, and public trust in the reliability of electronic systems. In conclusion, legal certainty in the context of electronic land transactions in Indonesia is attainable, but only through a comprehensive, systematic, and inclusive legal transformation supported by technological integrity and public policy reform.
