The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach, concept approach, and case studies. The results showed that: 1) Notaries are authorized to make authentic deeds regarding all actions, agreements, and determinations required by laws and regulations and/or desired by interested parties to enter the authentic deed as long as the deed is not submitted or excluded. to other officials or other persons prescribed by law. Notaries can also guarantee the certainty of the date of the deed, keep the deed, and offer grosse, reduce, and quotation of the deed. 2) If a notary employee forges a letter so that it can cause the notary to deviate from a deed he made so as to cause a criminal case, the Notary Public must be criminally responsible for what has been done by the worker. 3) The legal effect of an authentic deed made by a Notary Public who commits an unlawful act is the loss of authenticity of the deed and it becomes a deed under hand in accordance with the provisions of Article 41 of the Law on Amendments to the Law and the authentic deed can be canceled if the postulating party can prove it in a court hearing.
