The indictment can be handwritten or oral. There are no strict legal requirements on the form of an indictment. As long as it meets the conditions for prosecution, whether it is a handwritten or printed indictment, its legal effect will be the same. Usually, even if it is a printed indictment, the final part must be signed by hand.

Legal Basis

Article 120 of the "Civil Procedure Law" stipulates that a complaint should be submitted to the People's Court and copies should be submitted according to the number of defendants. If it is really difficult to write a complaint, the complaint may be filed orally, and the people's court will record the case and notify the other party.
