This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for document destruction, relating to the field of document destruction technology. The method includes: obtaining a destruction
authorization code based on a destruction operation; the destruction
authorization code is information generated for a document destruction task; the document destruction task includes multiple physical documents to be destroyed, each corresponding to a digital
virtual document. The method involves obtaining and displaying a
list of document identifiers corresponding to the destruction
authorization code; if a physical document to be destroyed is determined to be in the
list, a physical destruction procedure is initiated to perform the destruction. If a destruction completion
signal is generated, the
signal is uploaded to a
server, so that the
server updates the status of the digital
virtual document corresponding to the physical document to be destroyed to "destroyed" based on the destruction completion
signal. This method aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of document destruction during the document destruction process.
