Quick answer
To obtain legal verification and sealing, prepare business identity, instrument make, capacity and serial, purchase and repair record, location and intended use, confirm the current process with the responsible consumer-protection or NBSM office, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Businesses using scales for sales, production or public transactions
- Applicants who need to obtain legal verification and sealing using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, business registration or authorized consumer identity
- □ business identity
- □ instrument make, capacity and serial
- □ purchase and repair record
- □ location and intended use
- □ Official consumer complaint, NBSM certification, testing or metrology reference
- □ Official purchase, testing, calibration, verification or service receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the responsible consumer-protection or NBSM office is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across business identity, instrument make, capacity and serial, purchase and repair record, location and intended use.
- Submit the instrument for initial or periodic verification, ensure correct installation and zero, obtain the official seal or certificate, and track the next due date.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched business identity, instrument make, capacity and serial, purchase and repair record, location and intended use
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- A factory calibration certificate may not replace legal verification for trade use.
