Signature Witness Regulations for Commercial Registration under the Background of Optimizing the Business Environment
In commercial registration,parties often handle false registration through false signatures.The commercial regis-tration system lacks pre-examination methods,and formal examination in the registration process cannot exclude false reg-istration.Real name authentication such as facial recognition cannot exclude false signatures,which is the reason why false registration is repeatedly prohibited.The regulation of signature witnessing can achieve compliance with commercial regis-tration signatures,thereby reducing false registration and improving the market credit environment.Although the regulation of commercial registration signature witnessing requires certain costs,it can generate significant institutional benefits.The free witness system model under active public disclosure is a natural choice for presuming the authenticity of commercial registration signature information.Notaries and lawyers are the best subjects to serve as witnesses in commercial registra-tion.The witness object of commercial registration signature witness is the signature in the registration document.In the process of witnessing the signing of commercial registration,the signatory must personally appear in front of the witness and voluntarily sign their name on the document.Electronic signature technology and network video technology have expanded the appearance of"hand signing"and"appearing in person".If a witness violates the obligation of witnessing based on their own fault,they shall bear corresponding liability for breach of trust.No matter how technology develops,the role of witnesses is difficult to replace.
