Starting November 1, Kazakhstan’s address certificate will be canceled and excluded from the registry of public services. This means that government agencies, schools, medical facilities, etc. do not have the right to demand from citizens an address certificate from November 1. It cannot be obtained either through the branches of the Government for Citizens, or through the e-government portal.
If necessary, Kazakhstanis will be able to check their place of residence in their personal account on the electronic government portal egov.kz or through the eGovmobile application.
As for state bodies, they already have access to this information through their information systems, which were integrated with the databases of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At the same time, other organizations, including private companies, which may need information about a citizen's registration, will be able to get it through a third-party service on the electronic government portal egov.kz. This will be possible only if the citizen gives his consent via SMS to one-time receipt of information about his residence permit. To receive such an SMS, a citizen must be registered in the database of mobile citizens. Registration can be carried out independently (in the “My Account” on the egov.kz portal, in the column “Phone” you must indicate either change the phone number and confirm the validity of your digital signature), or contact any PSC department (the service is provided free of charge and will take no more than 5 minutes).
