The SEC-ZERO with Regular Processing

SEC Zuper Easy Registration Online (ZERO) is an Electronic Simplified Processing
of Application for Registration of Company (eSPARC) application that seamlessly
integrates with the Electronic SEC User Registration Environment (eSECURE) and
Electronic Submission Authentication Portal (eSAP) platforms. This allows applicants to
digitally authenticate the system-generated forms through eSAP, thereby eliminating the
need for physical signing and notarization of the registration documents. Submission of
hardcopies of registration documents will also be removed thus facilitating a complete,
end-to-end, paperless registration process. The digitally authenticated certificate of
incorporation will be automatically generated by the system and has the same validity as
the original certificate. SEC Zero enables applicants to register their companies anytime
and from anywhere in the world.
