This study aims to juridically and normatively analyze the implementation of Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) from the perspective of the principles of legal certainty and legal protection. PTSL is a strategic government program intended to accelerate land registration in order to provide legal guarantees for community land ownership rights. However, in its implementation, various problems are still encountered, one of which is the potential for land certificates issued through PTSL to become objects of land disputes.This study employs a juridical research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the legal regulations concerning PTSL already have a strong and hierarchical normative foundation, ranging from the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA), Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997, to the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency Number 6 of 2018.Nevertheless, in practice there are still several weaknesses, including disharmony of legal norms, less-than-optimal verification of physical and juridical data, and limited legal protection for the community. In addition, certificates issued through PTSL still have the potential to become objects of land disputes due to the negative publication system adopted in Indonesia’s land registration system, which does not provide absolute legal certainty. Other influencing factors include overlapping land ownership rights, data inconsistencies, and the public’s limited understanding of land law. Therefore, the implementation of PTSL has not yet been fully capable of optimally guaranteeing legal certainty and legal protection for the community.
