Legal perspectives on digitalising land certificates: Analysing synchronisation and harmonisation in indonesia’s job creation law

This research explores the legal implications of land certificate digitalisation under Indonesia's Job Creation Omnibus Law, focusing on the synchronisation and harmonisation of related regulations. The main question examines how the transition from traditional paper-based certificates to electronic titles (e-titles) can align with Indonesia's legal framework. The study is intended to analyse primary legal challenges and compare the Indonesian experience with Rwanda's successful e-title system. The paper employs a normative-juridical method, examining legal materials, including Electronic Information and Transactions Law and government regulations regarding land registration. The research discusses the synchronisation of these laws and their application in ensuring data security, legal certainty, and efficient land governance. The result of the discussion highlights that while digitalising land certificates can improve service delivery and efficiency, successful implementation is contingent upon the careful alignment of various laws and coordination between the National Land Agency and other government bodies. The comparative analysis with Rwandas e-title system offers useful insights into addressing potential legal and administrative challenges in Indonesia's digital transformation of land administration. This research contributes to offering actionable insights for policymakers aiming to modernise land governance in Indonesia.
