Amid the digital transformation wave, national policies promoting the adoption of electronic seals are advancing at a rapid pace. For instance, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong and other provincial-level administrative regions have successively formulated interim measures for electronic seal management, sending a clear signal: public security filing has become a "compliance pass" for enterprises' digitalization efforts.
Governments in Multiple Regions Have Introduced Electronic Seal Management Policies
In recent years, numerous provinces and cities across the country have taken the lead in issuing official documents on the implementation of electronic seals, laying a policy foundation for the administration and application of electronic seals:
Why Is Public Security Filing So Critical?
Legal Effect Guarantee: Electronic seals filed with public security authorities have the same legal validity as physical seals and can be directly used as admissible evidence in litigation.
Anti-counterfeiting and Tamper-proofing: Public security-filed electronic seals are protected by cryptographic technology, with fully traceable usage records, effectively preventing seal forgery and document tampering.
Risk Prevention and Control: It avoids legal risks such as contract invalidity and economic losses caused by the use of non-compliant electronic seals.

Furthermore, the electronic signature system adopted for these seals is independently developed in strict compliance with the GB/T38540-2020 Technical Specifications for Secure Electronic Signature Cryptography. It has passed testing by the Commercial Cryptography Testing Center of the State Cryptography Administration and obtained valid qualifications such as the Commercial Cryptography Product Certification Certificate. Meanwhile, the entire product line of "physical-electronic homologous seals" has also passed testing by the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security, enabling full-lifecycle management of public security-filed electronic seals.
In this crucial period of digital transformation, choosing public security-filed physical-electronic homologous seals is not only a sensible move to align with policy trends but also a vital step to safeguard enterprises' legitimate rights and interests. Let us work together to build a safe and compliant environment for electronic seal application, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of enterprises!
