The Role of Cyber Notaries in Supporting the Tourism Investment Climate in Bali

Abstract

Bali has abundant natural beauty, culture, and customs, attracting investors to invest in Bali. The investment in Bali that investors most target is property. The increasing number of transactions on property in Bali also requires a form of legal binding (agreement) based on the urge of the buyer or investor with the seller or property owner. Some officials are given the authority to enact documentary evidence for legal events named the Notary. The concept of a cyber Notary in Indonesia is still under debate. Although technology allows the role of Notaries online and remotely, legally, it seems that it cannot be carried out quickly. A statutory method was used in this normative legal research. It is examined using the description, systematization, and explanation phases. In Indonesia, the legislation relating to cyber Notaries is established in Article 15, paragraph 3 of the Notary Profession Law, which mentions a glimpse of the cyber Notary in terms of the competence to certify transactions undertaken online. However, in light of the present rapid growth of technology, this authority remains modest and clear. The role of cyber notaries in supporting investment in the tourism sector in Bali through the implementation of making engagements and/or making authentic deeds carried out through technological assistance will certainly help and facilitate investors in conducting transactions, especially in the tourism sector.
