Background
As part of the citizens’ primary needs, land holds important role for community life. In the process of acquiring certificate, the land registration process should be adjusted with legal development, technology and community needs. Through Regulation of Minister of Agraria Affairs and Spatial Layout/Head of the National Land Number 7 year 2016 regarding the Form and Content of Certificate of Right of Land (“Permen ATR No. 7/2016”), Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Layout/Head of the National Land (“Minister”) regulates the form and content of certificate of right of land in accordance with Computerized System of Land Activity (“KKP”). This regulation revokes provision governing the form and content of Certificate as set forth under the Regulation of Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Layout/Head of the National Land Number 3 of 1997 on the Provision of Implementation of Government Regulation Number 24 on 1997 on Land Registration.
KKP System
KKP is the main application used in supporting the implementation of jurisdiction, role/function of Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Layout/Head of the National Land using the basis of Information Technology and Communication, built/developed with regards to the flows, terms, time, and fee and jurisdiction in accordance with prevailing regulations.
As land registration system, KKP uses electronic system in the form of systemized application, integrated and can be used with or without network, as well as be directly synchronized automatically. If there are exceptional circumstances that hamper KKP system such as, internet disruption, black out, system down, or the Land Office has not able to apply KKP system, thus, land registration can be proceeded manually without using KKP system. Nevertheless, after the KKP system re-functionalized, the manual services should be registered to KKP system immediately. If the land office is unable to perform KKP system, then, manual registration can be done after receiving permission from the Minister.
Regulation on Form and Content of Certificate
Certificate of right of land is given for the interest of right owner or land manager. Permen ATR No. 7/2015 regulates the provision of the form and criteria of certificate of right of land.
