The purpose of this research is to find out the implementation of the prudential
principle by the Surakarta Land Office. The research method used in this research is
normative juridical collectingdata using literature studies, and books or documents
related to the problem under study. The results of the study stated that the prudential
principle basically must be implemented by every land office in the issuance of land
certificates, this because before the land certificate can be issued it must be
registered first.According to article 32 of Government Regulation 24 of 1997
concerning Land Registration, a certificate is a proof of rights that is valid as a
strong means of proof regarding the physical data and juridical data contained in it,
as long as the physical data and juridical data are in accordance with the data
contained in the document. Therefore, the application of the preduntial principle in
the issuance of land rights certificates is very important to maintain and support the
quality of land service work. The implementation of this principles in the issuance of
landcertificates by the Surakarta Land Office can be seen from the initial process
when all the requirements submitted by the applicant are accepted until the end when
the land title certificate is issued. In practice, the Surakarta Land Office applies the
prudential principle by paying attention to and complying with procedures and stages
so that the process can run well until the end. The procedure itself is a procedure that
refers to the regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs, Head of BPN Number 3 of
1997 concerning the Implementation of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997
concerning Land Registration. All requirements received by the Surakarta Land
Office, before being submitted to the leadership, must pass various checks. This is
done to facilitate the process and minimize the possibility of mistakes in the issuance
of land rights certificates.
