Court state fee payment details in foreign currency, Kazakhstan

Payment details for paying a court state fee in Kazakhstan in foreign currency: the State Treasury Committee’s accounts at the National Bank for US dollars, euros, roubles, yuan, pounds, francs and yen, the intermediary banks, and what to write in the payment details. Checked on 8 November 2026 against the Treasury Committee’s payment details file of 4 November 2026, the National Bank’s explanation and the Tax Code as amended on 1 July 2026.

The 30-second summary

• Where: foreign currency is transferred not to the court but to a current account of the Treasury Committee of the Ministry of Finance at the National Bank of Kazakhstan (SWIFT NBRKKZKX), with a separate account for each currency.
• What to write in the payment details: the sender’s details and the details of the state revenue office that receives the fee for your court: name, BIN, office code, IIK, BIK KKMFKZ2A, KNP 911, KBe 11 and KBK 108126.
• Check with the court first: the National Bank names this route for non-residents paying from abroad, including for the state fee, but states that its explanation is unofficial. The 2025 Tax Code requires payments to the budget in tenge unless legislation expressly allows foreign currency. Before transferring, ask the court office whether such a payment will be accepted.
• The safer option is to pay in tenge from a Kazakh bank account, including through a representative.

This is general information, not legal advice. Payment details may change: check them with the court office before paying.

Accounts for paying the state fee in foreign currency

Beneficiary’s bank: National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan, SWIFT NBRKKZKX. The accounts are current accounts of the State Treasury Committee of the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan.

Intermediary banks

For roubles the intermediaries are now JSC OTP Bank and JSC Raiffeisenbank. Sberbank and the Interstate Bank, which appear in older payment details, are not in the 2026 file. For US dollars two intermediary banks are listed, without any amount threshold.

The Treasury Committee’s file contains two misprints: the yen account has an extra digit (KZ031125JPY2016300142) and OTP Bank’s correspondent account is one digit short (3010181000000000311). The tables show the numbers that pass the check-digit test. Before paying in yen or via OTP Bank, confirm them with the court office or your bank.

What to write in the payment details

According to the National Bank (August 2026), the details (purpose) of the payment must give full information about the sender and the purpose of the payment, and the details of the final beneficiary, the state revenue office:

• the name and BIN of the state revenue office and its office code;
• IIK, BIK KKMFKZ2A, KNP 911, KBe 11;
• the budget classification code, KBK 108126.

The beneficiary is the same state revenue office as in the court’s payment details for tenge. The KBK for court fees is 108126: according to the State Revenue Committee’s explanation of 1 December 2023, only the apostille fee went to KBK 108125 and all other state fees to 108126. Older payment details show 108125 for claims against state institutions. For example, for the Specialised Inter-District Economic Court of Karaganda Region the treasury named the beneficiary in a 2015 letter as the State Revenue Office for Kazybek Bi District, BIN 950740000498, KBK 108126 — the same beneficiary appears on the court’s 2022 payment details page. Beneficiaries for Karaganda Region courts are listed on the page state fee payment details for Karaganda courts; for cassation appeals and the Supreme Court see state fee payment details for the Supreme Court and cassation courts.

Can the court state fee be paid in foreign currency?

• The state fee is a payment to the budget (Tax Code 2025, Art. 662(1)), and payments to the budget are made in the national currency, except where legislation expressly provides for payment in foreign currency (Art. 62(4)).
• The article on how the state fee is paid does not mention foreign currency: in court cases the fee is paid before the claim, application or appeal is filed (Art. 672(1)(1)), by bank transfer or in cash (Art. 672(3)).
• The National Bank, answering a question about a claim in a Kazakh court in August 2026, states that non-residents pay budget payments from abroad, including state fees, to the Treasury Committee’s accounts at the National Bank. The National Bank itself notes that this is an explanation, not an official reply.
• For commercial disputes between companies from different CIS countries, the Agreement of 24 December 1993 as amended by the Protocol of 10 December 2010 (ratified by Law of Kazakhstan No. 87-V of 3 April 2013) provides for payment in the national currency of the country of the court or in Russian roubles. Other currencies are allowed in the cases and manner set by the law of the country of the court.

So before transferring from abroad, ask the court office whether a foreign currency payment will be credited as payment of the fee, and allow several business days: the fee is paid before filing, and the transfer goes through intermediary banks. The reliable option is to pay in tenge from a Kazakh bank account. If a representative pays, the payment document states the name and identification number of the person on whose behalf the payment is made (Art. 62(7)).

How much to pay

The fee is calculated in tenge: for a property claim, 3% of the claim amount for a legal entity, capped at 20,000 MCI, and 1% for an individual, capped at 10,000 MCI (Art. 665(1)(1)). The monthly calculation index (MCI) in force on the payment date applies (Art. 664(2)). If you pay in foreign currency, allow for the exchange rate and intermediary bank charges: the amount received in tenge must not be less than the fee. All rates are on the page state duty rates in courts; who is exempt — exemption from state fees in courts.
