The spearhead of collecting physical data in the process of land registration is the measurement activity carried out by the measurement officer or known as the Cadaster Surveyor. Cadastral measurement is the main activity that determines the quality of land data. One of the guarantees of legal certainty in land registration is the assurance of certainty of physical data consisting of data on the location of boundaries and area of land. This research is a descriptive qualitative normative juridical law study which analyzes the study of legal changes related to the role and expansion of the cadastral surveyor's authority in the land registration system. In an effort to realize the accuracy of physical data in the form of the location and size of land parcels to accelerate land registration and land services, it is necessary to expand the authority and a strong legal umbrella. The authority according to the prevailing laws and regulations is very limited. To extend the licensed surveyor's authority as a form of community participation in the land registration system, there are several strategic steps that must be taken, one of which is the change / revision of legislation related to the land registration system, namely the need for new articles or the addition of new paragraphs in certain articles on The Basic Agrarian Law and Government Regulations regarding land registration.
