An authentic deed is a written legal instrument that possesses perfect evidentiary value under Indonesian law. Nevertheless, many members of the public still have limited knowledge regarding its legal function, benefits, and evidentiary status. As a result, various legal transactions, including sale and purchase agreements, grants, contracts, and inheritance distribution, are frequently conducted without legally valid documentation, increasing the risk of disputes, legal uncertainty, and financial loss. This community service program aimed to enhance public legal awareness and understanding of the importance of authentic deeds in ensuring legal certainty and protecting the rights of the parties involved. The program employed legal education through interactive lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, simple case analyses, and learning evaluations using pre-tests and post-tests to assess participants' knowledge improvement. The participants included community members, local leaders, micro-enterprise owners, and neighborhood officials who are frequently involved in civil legal transactions. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants' understanding of the definition of authentic deeds, the authority of notaries as public officials, the distinction between authentic deeds and private deeds, and the legal value of authentic deeds as strong evidence in dispute resolution. Furthermore, participants became more aware of the importance of consulting notaries when undertaking legal transactions requiring formal legal documentation.
