New requirements for registration and re-registration of legal entities in Kazakhstan

Notification of the need for the founder’s personal presence will be sent to the service recipient’s personal account on the e-government web portal.

The procedure for confirming the address when submitting an electronic application is also clarified: the location of the legal entity, branch (representative office) indicated in the application must be confirmed by the consent of the owner (owners) of the property. The accuracy of the address of the legal entity’s location will be verified automatically through the integration of information systems using data from the Address Register.
