This study discusses the comparative analysis of authority between Notary Publics in Indonesia and West Virginia in the creation of electronic deeds and the validity of deeds that have been legalized by Indonesian Notaries and West Virginia Notaries electronically. The research employs a normative legal approach, utilizing statutory, historical, and comparative methods. The study's results indicate a difference in authority between Indonesian Notaries and those in West Virginia, particularly in the electronic creation of deeds. There are still no clear regulations regarding electronic deeds in Indonesia, while West Virginia has outlined these in the West Virginia Code Chapter 39 and the West Virginia Notary Handbook. The validity of electronic deeds in West Virginia is established in West Virginia Code Chapter 39, Article 4, commonly known as the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA). However, Indonesia has yet to enact regulations regarding the validity of electronic notaries.
