The making of visum et repertum gives full duty to the doctor as the executor in the field to assist the prosecutor in determining the direction of the indictment that will be charged against the defendant, as well as assisting the judge in finding material truth in deciding a criminal case. The approach used in the research is a normative juridical approach. The juridical-normative approach The data source of a research is primary data and secondary data. Because this research is normative legal research, the sources studied are secondary data sources. Qualitative analysis is carried out by describing quality data in the form of sentences that are regular, sequential, logical, not overlapping, and effective. The role of Visum et Repertum in assisting the examination process of a case is not only useful for investigators to uncover the criminal offense, but also useful for examination in the trial of the case. Visum et Repertum as stated in Article 184 paragraph (1) KUHAP point c is a valid evidence. This makes the Visum et Repertum legally binding in assisting the resolution of a case.
