Prohibition of Self-Promotion in the Notary Code of Ethics and the Notary Law

Notary self-promotion is prohibited in the Notary Code of Ethics and the Notary Position Law (UUJN) because it can harm the independence, professionalism, and dignity of the Notary profession as a public official who has a position of trust. The purpose of this research is to analyze the form of prohibition of self-promotion by Notary and the sanctions applicable to its violation. The research method used is normative legal research with an analytical approach through literature study of primary and secondary legal materials. The results show that Notary self-promotion through print, electronic media, websites, and social media violates the Notary Code of Ethics and UUJN, and contradicts the principles of independence and integrity of the Notary profession. Sanctions that can be imposed include reprimand, temporary dismissal, and dishonorable dismissal. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of the role of the Notary Supervisory Council to supervise and enforce sanctions firmly so that professionalism and public trust in Notaries are maintained.
