A large number of documents generated and distributed by companies is being handled and electronically on the ground of information processing technology development. Electronic document are becoming important not only in terms of convenience and efficiency as well as the company's information resources management and utilization. However, the consumption of paper documents is still increasing and it shows that the face value of electronic document does not reflect on business practices. This unreasonableness is stemming from the legal limit based on paper document. The most basic prerequisition for companies to take advantage of electronic documents is that electronic documents should be able to be submitted to public or freely flowed in private in electronic form. In addition, there should be no uncertainty to acknowledge the validity of electronic document. This study suggests the following amendments of laws related to electronic document. First, it is necessary to prepare a plan on distribution of electronic douments beween the public and private. Most of the document-related activities done in corporate are made in accordance with the provisions of the law. Specifically, licensing, registration and documentation to be submitted to the public sector occupies a significant portion, and various documents should be supplied for confirmation to the public sector. This paper suggests the introduction of government electronic document storage. It needs legal basis for the establishment of the storage. Furthermore, for the convenience of citizens, the storage should be connected to the authorized electronic document provided in the Framework Act on Electronic Commerce Section 2 of Article 31. Second, legal basis for the activation of 'digitalized document' is necessary. Digitalized document has is a charateristic that the original paper documents exist separately. Thus, issues on the identity with the original paper, integrity in the process of creating digitalized documents, and authencity of the digitalized document itself can be discussed. Finally, ensuring consistency of relevant laws and regulations is required. When critical business documents are created in electronic form, the Commercial Code does not have special rules to apply and the Framework Act on Electronic Commerce applies. However,The annex of the Framework Act on Electronic Commerce Act does not comment 'the commercial books and the preservation of important documents on the business under Article 33 of the Commercial Code, the uncertainty exists. Clear legal basis for the storage of commercial documents are needed. If digitalized documents are the same as the original documents in its contents and forms, and meet the reliability requirements, particularly when the documents are notarized, it can be preferably considered that the original document is disposed.
