Based on information available on the Sentuh Tanahku application, the measurement process to determine land area is conveyed within 12 working days. In terms of costs, there needs to be socialization of what cost components arise as a result of the boundary arrangement. Article 84 of Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 concerning Management Rights, Land Rights, Condominium Units, and Land Registration only explains that the implementation of land registration can be carried out electronically, so it is not yet an obligation. The following article also states that the implementation of land registration electronically is carried out in stages, taking into account the readiness of the electronic system built by the ministry.

From a legal perspective, the regulations governing this transition must comply with the principles of legality and legal certainty. Regulations must be designed in such a way that they do not give rise to diverse interpretations and potential disputes in the future. Personal data protection must also be a top priority, given that land title certificates contain sensitive information that must be protected from potential misuse.

The government also needs to increase public digital literacy to support this transition. Education and training on the use of technology and electronic administration processes must be encouraged, so that the public can adapt to this change. With mature policies and transparent implementation, this transition will not only increase the efficiency of land administration but will also be an important part of efforts to create more transparent, efficient and modern governance. As a nation that continues to develop, the adoption of technology in land rights management is a necessity to move towards a better future.

Let's jointly oversee this electronic land certificate transition. Synergy between the government, the public and various stakeholders is very important to ensure that this process runs smoothly and does not cause difficulties for the public. With good cooperation, we can create a more efficient, secure and transparent land system for the future of Indonesia.
