Abstract

The implementation of electronic land certificates in Indonesia represents a digital transformation of land registration aimed at improving legal certainty and data accuracy. The inclusion of a clause stating that land area corresponds to the measurement at a specific time and may change upon remeasurement has important legal implications. This clause reflects Indonesia’s negative land registration system with positive tendencies, in which electronic certificates serve as strong but not conclusive evidence. Land area data is therefore relative and remains open to verification and correction through lawful administrative or judicial mechanisms. The clause also legitimizes the authority of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) to update land data while providing proportional legal protection to certificate holders. In dispute resolution, electronic certificates function as prima facie evidence that must be assessed together with remeasurement results and other supporting evidence, ensuring a balance between legal certainty and substantive justice.
