Conventional certificates have strong but not absolute evidentiary power, while electronic certificates obtain legitimacy through the Regulation of the Minister of ATR/BPN Number 3 of 2023 and Article 5 of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning ITE which confirms the validity of electronic documents as legal evidence. Both are legitimate state administrative decisions, so the difference between physical and digital forms does not affect their status. 2) Comparison of the legal force of conventional land certificates and electronic land certificates in providing evidence and legal protection for land rights holders, namely conventional land certificates and electronic land certificates have equal legal force in providing evidence and legal protection for land rights holders, because both are issued by authorized officials in accordance with Article 19 paragraph (2) letter c UUPA and Article 32 PP Number 24 of 1997. Conventional certificates have strong but not absolute evidentiary force and provide protection for rights holders in good faith, while electronic certificates obtain legal legitimacy through Article 6 paragraph (2) and Article 16 paragraph (2) of the Minister of ATR/BPN Regulation Number 3 of 2023, and their validity is recognized based on Article 5 of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning ITE and are equipped with personal data protection as regulated in Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning PDP.
