Individual Identification Number (IIN) / e-Residency

Individual Identification Number (IIN) / e-Residency

Due to the suspension of the pilot project for issuing the Individual Identification Number (IIN) to foreign nationals at the diplomatic and consular missions of the Republic of Kazakhstan as of 1 January 2026, we would like to inform you of an important alternative for obtaining an IIN.

To ensure convenience and access to essential digital services, the official eResidency online platform has been launched. This is a state programme of the Republic of Kazakhstan that enables foreign nationals to obtain a digital identity and an IIN fully online via the following portal: https://eresidency.gov.kz/en

Advantages of applying through eResidency:

  • remote issuance of a digital ID card and IIN;
  • access to banking and business opportunities;
  • no need for a personal visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan or a consular mission.

Please visit the eResidency portal via the link above to begin your application.
