<![CDATA[The development of digital technology has transformed the way individuals are identified and recognized in modern legal systems through the emergence of digital identities. This study formulates two main issues: the legal status of digital identities in the Indonesian legal system and the form of legal protection provided to digital identity holders against potential misuse of personal data. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The primary legal materials used include the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection, and Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 72 of 2022 concerning Digital Population Identity. The analysis was conducted deductively by examining the theory of legal protection, the principle of legality, and the concept of legal personhood in the digital context. The results of the discussion indicate that digital identities have received normative recognition as part of an individual's legal status. However, the effectiveness of legal protection remains weak due to the suboptimal implementation of the principles of transparency, accountability, and data security by electronic system administrators]]>
