Obtaining IIN and BIN in Kazakhstan

An individual identification number (IIN) is a 12-digit number that is issued to each individual upon his first registration in the information and production system to create documents.

The IIN is generated automatically, taking into account the concepts of uniqueness and immutability. It is not subject to any changes or regeneration from the moment of its first formation, in order to protect the integrity of the contents of information banks of various levels that use the IIN in the data structure.
IIN is indicated on the front side of the identity card of a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Individuals are identified by government agencies using IIN.

As a result, in order to access public services, individuals must have an IIN, for example for:

  • receiving identification documents;
  • marriage registration;
  • state registration of real estate and cars;
  • making payments and transfers;
  • paying taxes;
  • business registration.

A non-resident must obtain an IIN in order to create a legal entity in Kazakhstan.

The assignment of IIN to foreigners is carried out by the migration police of Kazakhstan from January 1, 2021 through the Non-Commercial Joint Stock Company State Corporation “Government for Citizens”.

The service is now provided electronically, with the corresponding certificate issued as an electronic document in PDF format based on the results of the service.

Documents required for registration of a foreigner’s IIN

1. A copy of the foreigner’s passport, which must be scanned.

If the foreigner’s passport does not contain identification data (last name, first name, patronymic and place of birth) written in Cyrillic, a copy of the certified translation of the passport into Cyrillic must be attached.

We also wanted to dwell a little more on how the IIN is still deciphered:

  • The first six digits indicate the date, month, day of your birth;
  • The seventh digit is your gender and age of birth:
    • Male, born in the 19th century;
    • Female, 19th century;

  • 12 check digit/digit.

We would also like to consider in detail the business identification number of a legal entity in Kazakhstan.

Registration, re-registration of companies

The most common organizational and legal form for creating a commercial legal entity in the territory of Kazakhstan is a Limited Liability Partnership.

Article 2 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Limited Liability and Additional Liability Partnerships” establishes that a limited liability partnership is a partnership established by one or more persons, the authorized capital of which is divided into shares of sizes determined by the founding documents; participants in a limited liability partnership are not liable for its obligations and bear the risk of losses associated with the activities of the partnership, to the extent of the value of their contributions.

It follows from this that the founders of the partnership are liable only in proportion to their contributions, this fact saves the founders of the partnership from high risks, limiting them (risks).

The founder of an LLP can be both an individual and a legal entity, while they can also be non-residents of the Republic of Kazakhstan. With the development of foreign economic relations, the creation of an LLP with foreign participation is becoming an increasingly popular service.

Registration of an LLP in accordance with the Standard (State registration of legal entities, record registration of their branches and representative offices) is carried out in two ways: on purpose, through the PSC branches, or through the EGOV portal (if all founders have an EDS).

The creation and registration of an LLP consists of 3 steps:

  • Drafting constituent documents;
  • LLP registration;
  • Concluding a lease agreement, opening an account, insurance, VAT registration.

First step: When drafting constituent documents, it is determined:

  • LLP name (checked within a few minutes on the EGOV portal to exclude matches);
  • Address of location of the future LLP (own or rented property);
  • Type of economic activity (for the agency of statistics, also OKED determines whether a license is required for the further operation of the LLP);
  • The size of the authorized capital and the share of the founders are determined (there can be one or more founders);
  • The head of the LLP (Director, General Director, etc.) is selected; he can be either the founder or another selected individual.

The founding documents are:

  • Decision (with the Sole participant of the LLP) or Minutes of the general meeting of the participants of the LLP (from two founders and above);
  • Memorandum of Association;
  • The charter of the partnership (it can be standard or drawn up according to one’s own wishes, taking into account the form established by law);
  • Order on assuming the position of director of the LLP.

Second step: direct registration of the LLP:

  • By submitting constituent documents and the necessary information through the nearest PSC department (within one business day following the day the application was submitted);
  • Electronic registration of an LLP through the EGOV portal if all participants of the future legal entity have an EDS (within 15 minutes).

Third step

Here, the final steps are already being taken, the first of which is the conclusion of a lease agreement or obtaining a notarized consent of the owner (individual) to use the premises (buildings, houses, etc.).

After the conclusion of the lease agreement or obtaining consent, a bank account is opened, the LLP is registered for VAT and other actions are carried out in accordance with the wishes of the founder (lei).

With foreign participation, in the created LLP, a few more processes are added to the above processes:

  • Obtaining an IIN for a non-resident individual (a notarized translation of the passport into Kazakh is required);
  • Obtaining a BIN if the founder is a non-resident legal entity (a notarized translation into Kazakh and Russian of a legalized extract from the trade register is required.

How to use part of your pension savings and for what?

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed a bill in January 2021 allowing Kazakhstanis to spend part of their pension funds.

What does this mean?

That now residents of the Republic of Kazakhstan with an amount exceeding the “sufficiency threshold” can use part of the lump-sum pension payments to improve their living conditions and (or) pay for treatment.

The procedure for using lump-sum pension payments to improve housing conditions is prescribed in the “Rules for the use of lump-sum pension payments to improve housing conditions in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan” dated January 21, 2021 and in the “Rules for the use of lump-sum pension payments for treatment” dated February 15, 2021

If you want to withdraw part of your savings, which banks should you apply to?

Halyk Bank, Otbasy Bank, Altyn Bank, Bank CenterCredit are Kazakh banks that participate in a program that allows citizens to withdraw their pension savings ahead of schedule.

Through the site enpf.kz, you need to register, or enter your personal account and independently check the information on the available amount of the lump-sum pension payment.

To withdraw pension funds, an electronic digital signature (EDS) and an extract from an individual pension account are required.

What do I need to do to open a special account?

To open a special account, you must contact one of your operators (bank).

For example, to work with Otbasy Bank, you need to go to the enpf-otbasy.kz website or download the ZhSSB24 mobile application. There you can create your account to which your pension savings will be transferred.

You will need to log in with your username and password. Further, your personal account can be used to apply for opening a special account. You must click on the button “Open an account for the EPO”, after signing and verifying, within some time your account will be ready for use.

In applications for receiving payments, the number of the special account to which the pension money will be transferred is indicated. You must also state why you are withdrawing your pension funds and how much money you have on hand. It also includes personal income tax (PIT) withholding methods.

Within 2 working days, the authorized operator will send an electronic notification to the UAPF containing information on the accepted application for payment, including data on the purpose of the withdrawal, full name, DR, IIN, the amount of the lump-sum pension payment in the amount determined by the contributor (recipient), methods of withholding the IIT, EDS.

After receiving an electronic notification from the UAPF, within 5 business days, sends the amount of the contributor’s (beneficiary’s) lump-sum pension payment to an authorized operator, which then credits it to your special account.

Before exercising your right to use part of your pension savings, you must first check and make sure that the amount allowed for withdrawal is available in the individual pension account with the UAPF.

It is important to note that from April 1, 2022, the minimum sufficiency thresholds for withdrawing pension savings will be increased.
