THE ROLE OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT TO IMPROVE THE PROFESSIONALITY OF THE NOTARY

Abstract

Notary is a public official who has the authority to make authentic deeds. As an official who is appointed by the government, a notary has a duty to provide good service to the community. In their duties and powers, a Notary is regulated by several laws and regulations, especially the Law on the Position of Notary Public and the Notary Code of Ethics.

The Notary Code of Ethics is all moral principles determined by the Indonesian Notary Association, hereinafter referred to as the "Association" based on the decision of the Association Congress which is determined and regulated in the laws and regulations concerning this matter and which apply to and must be obeyed by each and all members. Associations and all people who carry out their duties as a Notary. Notaries in their duties must always obey the Notary Code of Ethics, because Notaries must maintain the dignity and dignity of the Association.

Until now, the implementation of the Notary Code of Ethics in Indonesia is still not optimal. We still often hear about violations of the Notary Code of Ethics committed by Notaries. Imposing sanctions that are deemed less firm cannot provide a deterrent effect for Notaries who commit violations. So that the application of the Notary Code of Ethics must be improved, so that the Notary can carry out his / her job duties properly.
