Land registration aims to provide legal certainty regarding land rights, including the object, subject, and the status of such rights. The Basic Agrarian Law Year 1960 and Government Regulation Number 24 Year 1997 govern land registration by the National Land Agency, assisted by Land Deed Officials and Temporary Land Deed Officials in areas lacking sufficient Land Deed Officials. Sub-district heads (Camat) are appointed as Temporary Land Deed Officials, even though many graduates of notarial studies meet the qualifications to become Land Deed Officials. Nevertheless, the appointment of sub-district heads as Temporary Land Deed Officials continues to take place.

The purpose of this research is to explain and analyze the ratio or criteria that determine the existence of Temporary Land Deed Officials in Work Areas where the formation for Land Deed Officials has been fulfilled. The status of Temporary Land Deed Officials after the appointment of Land Deed Officials in the work area, and also the impact of the continuation of Temporary Land Deed Officials on the land registration system and land services.
