Article 25. General procedure for consideration of applications for permits

1. The licensing authority* when licensing or when carrying out licensing procedures, within two working days from the date of receipt of the applicant's documents for the issuance of a permit and (or) an appendix to it, is obliged to check the completeness of the submitted documents.

If the applicant submits an incomplete package of documents, the licensing authority within the specified time limits gives a reasoned refusal to further consider the application.

2. To obtain, in cases established by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, decrees of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan or resolutions of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, approvals (accompanying permits) of state bodies for compliance of the applicant with the requirements established by regulatory legal acts, the licensing authority, within two working days from the date of registration of the applicant's documents for obtaining a permit and (or) an appendix to it, sends a request to the relevant state bodies at the place where the applicant is carrying out the upcoming activity or action (operation).

State bodies, on the basis of a request from a licensing authority, within ten working days, send a response to the relevant licensing authority about the applicant's compliance or non-compliance with the requirements imposed during licensing or during the implementation of licensing procedures.

For permits of the second category, regulatory legal acts may establish other deadlines for the cases provided for in paragraph 1 of this article, parts one and two of this paragraph.
