KH friends must be familiar with the work of notaries, right? Although generally notaries are only known to have authority in making land sale and purchase deeds or in terms of making notarial deeds for business entities, it turns out that notaries also have other powers. One of the authorities in question is waarmerking. This term is quite foreign and there are still many people who are confused about waarmerking.
What is Waarmerking?
Waarmerking itself is usually requested by the parties to the agreement with the aim that there are other parties who also know that there has been an agreement or agreement so that one of the parties cannot make a denial to fulfill the achievements in the agreement. Well, to better understand what waarmerking is, Kontrak Hukum will discuss it below. Let’s look down to the bottom! Article 15 paragraph 2 letter b of Law No. 2 Year 2014 states that notaries have the authority to record letters under the hand by registering in a special book. This is also known as the registration of underhand letters with a register code or waarmerking. In this waarmerking, the notary will register the document/letter into the underhand letter registration book. However, the letter/document in question has been made and signed by the parties before being brought before the notary, so the letter under hand usually has a different date between the date of signing and the date of registration. For information, even though the letter/document will be waarmerked, the rights and obligations of the parties involved still arise when the signing of the letter/document is done, not when the registration with the notary. After waarmerking, the letter/document will be stamped with the seal and signature of the Notary. The letter/document will also be legally recorded and can be used as evidence in the event of a dispute. However, because in waarmerking the letter/document has been made before being registered with the notary, the notary does not have legal responsibility for the contents of the letter/document made including the date it was signed. The responsibility is fully borne by the parties so that the parties must make a true statement in the letter/document. In the event of a dispute over a registered letter/document, the notary’s liability is limited to confirming that the parties bound by the letter/document have made or agreed on the date of signing the letter and have been registered in the book of registration of letters under hand. So in waarmerking, the notary is only entitled to testify that the letter/document does exist.
