公文不盖印问题之我见——兼与张松祥先生商榷

一般公文应在正文之后署发文机关名称,并在其上加盖印章。署会议名称的一些公文无相应印章可盖和受传统规范格式限制的会议纪要无发文机关署名没有盖印,但仍受人信任。有特定发文机关标志的某些普发性公文因有盖印不便而未盖印,由于其普发,使需执行的机关均有,可据以辨明造假公文的真伪。传真电报因其为事先联系好后点对点发送,即使不盖印,也不存在真实性受质疑问题。

For ordinary official documents, the name of the issuing organ should be signed after the text and the seal stamped on top. Some official documents with a conference title lack a corresponding seal; minutes are not signed or sealed due to traditional layout regulations, yet they are still trusted. A few widely issued official documents signed by specific issuing organs are not sealed for convenience. Forged documents can therefore be discerned from the authentic ones, because such documents are widely issued to the organs that should implement. The authenticity of faxes and telegrams is not a problem even if they are not sealed, for they are issued in a peer-to-peer manner with prior appointment.
