SEC MC No. 03, Series of 2025: Mandatory Use of ZERO in Corporation Registration via eSPARC and OneSEC

The Securities and Exchange Commission mandates the exclusive use of the Zuper Easy Registration Online (ZERO) system for all new corporation registrations through the eSPARC and OneSEC portals. This directive requires applicants to utilize credentialed eSECURE accounts and the Electronic Submission Authentication Portal (eSAP) to digitally authenticate documents, thereby eliminating the need for physical signatures, notarization, and hard copy submissions. While domestic stock corporations must immediately adopt this end-to-end paperless process, other entity types are granted a three-month grace period before the mandatory implementation applies to them as well.
