Abstract

This article highlights the newer discussion of the term "cyber notary" in the Indonesian legal context and compares the discussion with the discussion on the use of digital instruments for German notaries. The article notes that the concept of cyber notary is being discussed in Germany and other EU-member states as well, where the integration of digital and cyber elements into the notary system is considered as a way to make processes more efficient, accessible, and secure. This includes the use of digital signatures, online notarization, the use of notarial blockchains, or secure digital storage for notarized documents. However, the implementation of cyber notary systems in Indonesia is still in a very early stage and not yet fully regulated. Consequently, it needs more discussion for the consistent integration of digital instruments for notarial work into the legal system of Indonesia. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the situation of the digitalization of notarial tasks in Indonesia. It presents some new developments in Germany that are relevant for cyber notaries and may be interesting for the development of digitalization of notarial work processes in Indonesia. Finally, the article will discuss some aspects of the ongoing digitalization that may affect the profession of notaries in the future. As in all legal professions, we are facing future disruptive developments through digitalization, namely with artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, or cloud computing. The article aims to show that AI and blockchain technology will not replace civil law notaries in the near and middle term but will be integrated into the daily work of notaries as supporting instruments.

Bahasa Abstract

Artikel ini menyoroti diskusi yang lebih baru tentang istilah "cyber-notary" dalam konteks hukum Indonesia dan membandingkan diskusi tersebut dengan diskusi tentang penggunaan instrumen digital untuk notaris Jerman. Artikel ini mencatat bahwa konsep cyber-notary sedang dibahas di Jerman dan negara-negara anggota Uni Eropa lainnya juga, di mana integrasi elemen digital ke dalam sistem notaris pada dasarnya dianggap sebagai cara untuk membuat proses lebih efisien, mudah diakses dan aman. Ini termasuk penggunaan tanda tangan digital, notaris online, penggunaan blockchain notaris, atau penyimpanan digital yang aman untuk dokumen yang diaktakan. Namun, implementasi sistem cyber-notary di Indonesia masih dalam tahap yang sangat awal dan belum sepenuhnya diatur. Akibatnya, perlu lebih banyak diskusi untuk integrasi yang konsisten dari instrumen digital untuk pekerjaan notaris ke dalam sistem hukum Indonesia. Artikel ini memberikan gambaran yang komprehensif mengenai situasi digitalisasi tugas-tugas notaris di Indonesia. Artikel ini menyajikan beberapa perkembangan baru di Jerman yang relevan untuk cyber notary dan mungkin menarik untuk pengembangan digitalisasi proses kerja notaris di Indonesia. Akhirnya, artikel ini akan membahas beberapa aspek dari digitalisasi yang sedang berlangsung yang dapat mempengaruhi profesi notaris di masa depan. Seperti dalam semua profesi hukum, kita menghadapi perkembangan disruptif di masa depan melalui digitalisasi, yaitu dengan Kecerdasan Buatan, Teknologi Blockchain, atau komputasi awan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan, bahwa teknologi AI dan blockchain tidak akan dapat menggantikan notaris hukum perdata dalam waktu dekat dan jangka menengah, tetapi akan diintegrasikan ke dalam pekerjaan notaris sehari-hari sebagai instrumen pendukung.
