Constitutional Court Decision Number 84/PUU-XXII/2024, pronounced on 3 January 2025, changed the retirement age of notaries from 65 years, extendable to 67, to a maximum of 70 years on certain conditions. The change raises the question of how to balance the constitutional rights of senior notaries, the quality of notarial service, and the regeneration of the professional organisation. This article formulates the ratio decidendi of the decision and tests its normative implications for professionalism, accountability, and regeneration. The normative legal study uses a statutory approach and a conceptual approach, drawing on primary legal materials (the decision, the Notary Office Act, and Minister of Law Regulations Number 17, 22, and 24 of 2025), analysed qualitatively through systematic interpretation against parameters of legal certainty, justice, and utility. The findings show that the Court's reasoning rests on Article 28D(1) of the 1945 Constitution, the principle of rationality, and intolerable injustice, so that the resulting regime is better described as a hybrid, namely a maximum age limit combined with a health requirement, than as a full capacity-based regulation. The health examination tests physical and psychiatric fitness but does not guarantee professional competence; the gap is only partially closed by recommendations from the Notary Supervisory Council. The article's analytical contribution is a three-node model linking capacity screening, professional supervision, and organisational regeneration. The findings are normative implications that require empirical testing.
