Law Enforcement Against Notaries for Negligence in Carrying out Their Duties and Responsibilities

A notary is a professional who serves the general public in the legal field and is in charge of authenticating written documents, deeds, and letters for use in court. The main basis of the notary profession is trust and as an elite community, the professionals who are members of this community bear a heavy mandate for the trust placed in them. This study is Normative research that used statutory and conceptual approach. Secondary data is the source of the data used. Qualitative and descriptive data analysis was done. Conclusions are drawn using a deductive method. According to the findings of this study, notaries must not give copies of deeds to uninvited parties and must maintain the confidentiality of any information entrusted to them. Article 15 paragraph (1) UUJN covers this power and states, among other things, making a deed instead of making a letter, such as a Power of Attorney to Impose Mortgage Rights (SKMHT), or making other letters, such as a Certificate of Inheritance (SKW). Furthermore, it is stressed that Notaries are chosen and removed by the government, which implies that the Minister of Law and Human Rights appoints and dismisses Notaries in the course of their employment. The role of a notary public is crucial in fostering community protection and legal clarity.
