Having a certificate in order to guarantee legal certainty, but in reality, in Jayapura City there are still disputes between parties when certificates are duplicated either directly or indirectly and can cause losses to the parties concerned. The research method used is normative and empirical, ie. an approach that draws on statutes, literature, written regulations or other secondary legal material and considers their application through field research. The results of this study indicate that the role of the Jayapura City Land Office in issuing land certificates is in land registration which aims to provide strong proof of rights in the form of land title certificates and the factors that cause dual certificates to occur, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors can be caused by the land registration process carried out by the Jayapura City Land Office including psychological, sociological and administrative factors, while external factors are strategic environmental factors which can be in the form of the influence of community legal culture, weak databases and land ownership management systems at the district/village level, pluralism of types and characteristics of land ownership in the community, while other factors are related to customary transfer of land rights.
