In addition to the differences referred to the legal basis, the differences between the two lie in the tasks & authorities, regional authorities, and ways of working.
The task of a Notary is to make authentic deeds regarding all actions, agreements, and provisions required by laws and regulations. While the duties of the PPAT are limited to carrying out some of the land registration activities that will be used as the basis for changing land registration data.
The regional authority of a Notary Public covers all areas within one province where he is domiciled. Meanwhile, the PPAT includes a predetermined domicile and does not have the power to carry out tasks in other areas.
The notary’s way of working is to guarantee the certainty of the date of making the deed, save the deed, provide grosse, and flow and quote the deed. The way PPAT works focuses on land registration activities which include making deeds.
