Abstract

This article examines the legal certainty of limits on the use of social media by Notaries as a means of legal education, with a comparative study of Dutch notarial regulations. The issue arises because technological development has encouraged Notaries to use social media to provide legal information to the public, while the Notary Code of Ethics prohibits self-promotion and commercial activities. This creates uncertainty in distinguishing legitimate legal education from prohibited self-promotion. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, theoretical, and comparative approaches. Legal materials were collected through library research by examining the Notary Position Law, the Notary Code of Ethics, legal literature, and Dutch notarial regulations. The findings show that Indonesian notarial law does not specifically regulate the use of social media, creating a regulatory gap and subjective ethical assessment. The study concludes that specific guidelines are needed to define educational, transparent, non-commercial, and ethically accountable social media use by Notaries
