In Indonesian society, land has strategic importance from an economic, social, and legal perspective. Receipts are often used as proof of payment in land transactions, but because they are not original evidence and are vulnerable to loss, damage, or forgery, their validity is low. As seen in court practice, this situation often leads to disputes. The purpose of this study is to examine how digitalization of receipts can increase transaction transparency and help avoid ownership conflicts. Secondary legal materials in the form of literature and scientific publications are used to support the normative juridical research methodology, which includes a legal regulatory approach and case analysis. The gap between ideal legal provisions and community transaction practices, which are mostly still carried out informally, is examined in this study. The results show that digitalization of receipts can increase transparency through a secure, standardized, and verifiable electronic recording system. Features such as unique identities, time recording, and electronic signatures strengthen evidentiary value and facilitate transaction tracing. In addition, digitalization plays a preventive role by minimizing manipulation and loss of documents, and as a repressive measure by strengthening evidence in dispute resolution. In conclusion, digitalizing receipts is a strategic solution to increase legal certainty, transparency, and legal protection in land purchase transactions, while simultaneously preventing future land disputes.
