Declaration procedure for state registration of legal entities instead of notification

For small business entities, a declarative procedure for state registration of legal entities is introduced instead of a notification procedure.

For state registration of legal entities related to medium and large business entities with foreign participation, in addition to a copy of the passport or other document certifying the identity of the foreign founder, with a notarized translation into Kazakh and Russian, a document confirming the right to register a commercial organization in the Republic of Kazakhstan in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Population Migration” will be required.

Failure to provide these documents serves as grounds for refusal of state registration.

In addition, it has been added that changes and additions to the registration data of a legal entity, branch (representative office) are made when contact information (phone, email address) changes. These changes are made automatically based on an electronic notification.

From January 7, 2025, the Rules for the provision of public services in the field of state registration of legal entities and the registration of branches and representative offices will change.

In particular, it is envisaged that state registration of a legal entity related to a small and medium-sized business entity is carried out by submitting an electronic application.

In the case of electronic registration, state registration of legal entities is carried out on the basis of an application received by the state database “Legal Entities” (SDB LE) through the portal.

To provide a public service in electronic form, biometric authentication of the individual may also be carried out.
