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

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.
