Abstract
In addition to the function of confirming the person’s seal, Korea’s seal certificate performs the function of confirming the person’s identity and confirming the person’s intention. However, there was public opinion that the public’s convenience was insufficient. Recently, the government is proposing a system improvement plan for the certificate of seal for the convenience of the public. This plan to improve the certificate of seal is also consistent with the government’s national task. In order to improve the legal system of certification of seal, it is necessary to review it with evaluation criteria on the conformity of policy and legislation. These standards should also be considered for some amendments to ｢the Certification Of Seal Imprint Act｣ currently pending in the National Assembly and ways to innovate digital administrative services to improve the certification of seal system, which is a means of confirming the government’s intention. Based on these criteria, first, it is necessary to amend ｢the Certification of Seal Imprint Act｣, which allows the use of “Certificates of Personal Signature” and “Electronic Certificates of Personal Signature” that can be used in place of the current seal certificate, as to how to verify the guarantor’s qualifications when reporting a seal in writing. Second, it is necessary to amend ｢the Certification Of Seal Imprint Act｣ to utilize the electronic signature confirmation system under Article 7 of ｢the Act On Confirmation Of Personal Signature｣ in relation to the confirmation of overseas missions for overseas Koreans who are staying abroad. Third, it is necessary to amend ｢the Enforcement Decree Of The Certification Of Seal Imprint Act｣, which exempts fees when socially vulnerable people with disabilities and people aged 65 or older try to obtain a Certificates of Seal Imprints or Change of Seal Imprint. Fourth, it is necessary to establish a new regulation in the ｢the Certification of Seal Imprint Act｣ in relation to the establishment of the electronic Certificates of Seal Imprints system.
