Land mafia activities remain a persistent problem in Indonesia, prompting the implementation of electronic land certificates as a preventive measure. This study examines the realities of electronic certificate implementation at the Batam City and Palangka Raya City Land Offices, using a normative-empirical approach combining literature reviews and interviews. Despite encountering internal and external challenges, both offices have actively addressed these issues, contributing to the Ministry of ATR/BPN’s issuance of 6.1 million electronic certificates in 2025. The study finds that electronic land certificates enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of land registration while mitigating the risk of forgery and limiting land mafia activities, highlighting their significance in promoting transparency, legal certainty, and resilient land governance in Indonesia.
