Republic of Kazakhstan is a party to the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents.

According to the Convention, documents issued by competent authorities of one state intended for use in another member state require an Apostille stamp. Documents with an Apostille from one Convention member state are accepted in other member states without restrictions.
