The notary profession plays a crucial role as a public official authorized to create authentic deeds to ensure legal certainty. In practice, the integrity and morality of notaries are regulated not only by the Notary Law (UUJN) but also by the Notary Code of Ethics (KEN), which serves as a guideline for behavior and legal protection for notaries. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the KEN can strengthen notary professionalism, prevent ethical and legal violations, and protect notaries from criminalization of their position.Furthermore, coordination between the Honorary Council (DK) of the Indonesian Notaries Association and the Notary Supervisory Board also plays a crucial role in enforcing discipline and fostering the profession. Thus, professional ethics serve not only as a moral guideline but also as a protective barrier and a key pillar in realizing integrity and legal certainty in notarial practice in Indonesia
