上海电子执照、电子印章实现同步发放 - 2020年04月02日

Shanghai's market watchdog cut red tape for enterprises in the city on Wednesday by introducing the synchronous issuance of electronic operating licenses and seals amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"The e-versions of licenses and seals have the same legal power as physical licenses and seals," said Chen Xuejun, director of the Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation.
Previously, companies were allowed to apply for electronic seals only after they received physical licenses and seals, which are mandatory in order to operate a business.
