<![CDATA[The rapid development of digital technology has driven the increasing use of electronic documents in various legal activities in Indonesia. However, the notarial sector has not been able to fully keep pace with this development, as the formation of notarial deeds remains bound to formal procedures that require the physical presence of the parties. This study aims to analyze the regulation of electronic deeds within the Indonesian notarial legal system and to identify the problems in their implementation in practice. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches.
