Denpasar Team, FLUNUD.ac.id – Notary Professionalism in Facing the Challenges of the Society 5.0 Era is the theme of the National Seminar (Semnas) held by the Notary Masters Study Program (MKN) FHUNUD on Thursday (17/11/22) online through the webex platform. The Semnas was opened by the Dean of the Faculty of Law UNUD, Prof. Dr. Putu Gede Arya Sumerta Yasa, SH., M.Hum and presented 4 speakers, namely: Prof. Dr. Ni Ketut Supasti Dharmawan, SH, M.Hum. LLM. (Professor of FH UNUD), Dr. Hanif Nur Widhiyanti, SH, M. Hum. (Brawijaya University Faculty of Law Academics), Dr. I Made Hendra Kusuma, SH, Sp.N. (Practitioner Notary/PPAT) and Anak Agung Made Ngurah Panca Septiadi (Student of MKN FH UNUD Study Program).

The National Semester which was held online was also attended by Deputy Deans, Coordinating Study Programs, Heads of Labs/Sections, Unit Coordinators, Lecturers, Students within the Faculty of Law and practitioners (notaries). The number of participants reached 156 people. The participants were very enthusiastic about participating in this National Semester because of the up-to-date seminar theme and interesting presentations from the speakers regarding the validity/authenticity of electronic deeds (cyber notary) in the digitalization era.

On the one hand, speakers from academic circles conveyed the need for adaptation to technological advances in order to provide benefits for all parties and for harmonization of law. Article 15 Paragraph (3) and explanation of Law No. 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law No. 30 of 2004 concerning Notary Offices (UUJNP) does not regulate the authority of a notary regarding electronic deeds so that there is a need for regulation so that the status and legal force of electronic deeds are clear. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the practitioner speaker said that the strength of the proof of this electronic deed is still doubtful. A notary is a public official authorized to make authentic deeds, where the parties go directly to the notary and sign it on the spot so a wet signature is required. Based on Article 5 of Law no. 19 of 2016 jo. UU no. 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Transaction Information: notarial deeds are not categorized as valid legal evidence. 

Hopefully the material and active discussion in National Semester activities can provide additional knowledge in the field of notary law and benefit all parties in the preparation of authentic deeds in the era of society 5.0.
