The controversy surrounding the authenticity of President Joko Widodo's diploma has sparked a legal debate regarding the status of the diploma as personal data or public information. Diplomas contain identity information protected by Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). Still, as documents related to public office, diplomas can also be considered relevant information for the public interest under Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure (KIP Law). This study examines the legal status of diplomas about personal data protection and public information disclosure, employing normative legal research methods. The results indicate that diplomas are considered general personal data under the PDP Law, so their dissemination requires the consent of the owner. However, the KIP Law regulates limited access to diploma information when it relates to public office. Therefore, a balance is needed between protecting individual privacy and ensuring transparency of information in state administration.
