YOGYAKARTA Some people may not understand the differences in certificates and land books, especially regarding their functions. The reason is that the two documents are authentic documents as a result of land registration.

Well, for those who want to know the difference between the two documents, VOI has summarized the information for you. Read it all the way out, yes!

According to Government Regulation (PP) Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration, land certificates are proof of the right to land rights, management rights, waqf land, property rights to flats, and dependent rights, each of which has been recorded in the land hair concerned.

Meanwhile, land documents are documents in the form of a list containing juridical data and physical data of an object of land registrant whose rights already exist.

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that certificates and land books are two different documents, but they are interrelated with land registration.

What is meant by land registration is a series of activities carried out by the government continuously, continuously and regularly, including collection, processing, bookkeeping, and recitation as well as maintenance of physical data and juridical data, in the form of maps and lists, regarding land parcels and apartment units, including the provision of proof of their rights for land areas that already have their rights and property rights to flats and certain rights that burden them.

In Article 19 paragraph (2) of Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations of Agrarian Principles, land registration includes:

According to Article 32 of PP Number 24 of 1997, land certificates are proof of strong ownership certificates containing physical and juridical data and in accordance with land books and measuring letters.

The booking in the land book and its listing on the measuring letter are evidence that the rights concerned along with their rights holders and their land parcels outlined in the legal decree have been registered. The booking was made based on evidence and minutes of approval.

The difference in certificates and other land books lies in terms of those who have the right to store them.

In Article 31 of PP No. 24/1996, land certificates are issued for the benefit of rights holders and may only be handed over to parties whose names are listed in land books or other parties authorized by them.

Meanwhile, the land book is stored at the Land Office, along with other documents as stated in Article 35.

Land registration maps, land lists, measuring letters, land books, lists of names and other documents that serve as evidence during the registration process, must remain at the Land Office or elsewhere determined by the Minister.

That's the information about the differences in certificates and land books. Hopefully this article can add insight to the loyal readers of VOI.ID.
