Notary, public official or public official: implications for the position of notary

Abstract

The issue to be discussed is whether there is a shift in the position status of a Notary to a Public Official. A notary is a General public Official according to Notary Office Law. Since Indonesia has acceded to the Apostille Convention, it is necessary to clarify the classification of the Notary position and its implications because the Convention applies to the legal product of Publik Officials. This study discusses whether there is a shift in the position of a Notary to a Public Official and its implications for the Notary Deed, considering the provisions regarding General Public Officials and Publik Officials, including the KIP Law. In conclusion, the classification of Notary occupation, for the sake of legal certainty, as stated in Notary Office Law, is General Public Official. From another perspective, if Notary is classified as a Public Official, this would not immediately force or make the Notary obligated to disclose the Notary Deed they made or the confidential information of the Parties who appear before the Notary.How to cite item: Aisyiah, C., Wisnuwardhani, D.
