ABSTRACT Article 37 of Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Notary Position obliges notaries to provide free legal services to underprivileged communities as a manifestation of the social function of the notarial profession. However, the provision does not clearly regulate the form, scope, and limitations of its implementation, resulting in legal uncertainty in practice. This study aims to analyze the form and scope of such obligations, examine their meaning and position based on the principles of justice, utility, and legal certainty, and assess the legal implications for notaries who fail to fulfill these obligations. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches, through the analysis of primary and secondary legal materials using grammatical and systematic interpretation. The results show that the obligation to provide free legal services includes notarial services in the form of deed preparation and legal counseling. This obligation constitutes an imperative norm and reflects the social responsibility of notaries in ensuring access to justice for underprivileged communities, while also balancing the principles of justice, utility, and legal certainty. Violations of this obligation may result in administrative sanctions, ethical sanctions, and civil liability. Therefore, clearer and more measurable regulations are required, along with strengthening the role of the Notary Supervisory Council, to ensure that its implementation is proportional, fair, and effective.
