BPN (national land agency)
BPN (земельное ведомство) · Badan Pertanahan Nasional / Kementerian ATR
BPN (Badan Pertanahan Nasional, within the ATR ministry) registers land rights, issues SHM/SHGB/Hak Pakai certificates and records mortgages (Hak Tanggungan) and seizures. All land transactions are registered at BPN through a PPAT notary.
Two levels of check for a buyer. First, the public Sentuh Tanahku app, which by certificate number shows whether it exists, the type of right, area and status. Second, the official request of the notary (pengecekan sertifikat) to the regency BPN office, which returns an extract with encumbrances, disputes and the current holder. The second step is mandatory before any payment, and a PDF "extract" from the seller is no substitute.
ATR/BPN also runs the RDTR maps (GISTARU portal) and the LSD protected rice-field register.
