China opens its First Ever Blockchain Notary office in Beijing. Its services began on 19th April. According to the Notary Officer Wang Mingliang, implementing blockchain will enhance the legal significance of notarized papers. It will also minimize the issues of forgery of legal documents. Information will be more secure so it won’t fall in miscreant’s hands. The representative also said that in future, they will keep experimenting and applying blockchain in other aspects of the legal system. In case you may wonder how it will work, the notary certificate will have a 2-dimensional scan code. The holder of the legal document has to scan it to access and verify its contents.

A professor from a Chinese biz school says embracing blockchain with the legal system will result in an efficient, stable and low-cost data storage. Of course, it’s based on real-time record keeping which makes it more accurate.

China is gradually having an understanding of blockchain and it’s carrying out practical implementations. It’s a good sign that government offices are implementing blockchain technologies for public welfare. According to a recent study, China runs almost 25% of total blockchain projects that are going on in the world. This is quite a significant figure and it will definitely see a growth in the future.
