Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Kazakhstan and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: 12 digits; first 4 encode year+month of registration. BIN is simultaneously the tax ID — no separate tax certificate number. Registration number: 12 digits; first 4 encode year+month of registration. BIN is simultaneously the tax ID — no separate tax certificate number.

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​
Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed. Not applicable in Kazakhstan: Operating Permit. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Issued electronically; also verify via State DB “Legal entities” on egov.kz.
  • Constitutive Documents: Single charter suffices for sole-founder TOO and AO. AIFC entities use Memorandum & Articles under AIFC Companies Regulations.
  • Tax Registration: BIN is the tax ID; no separate tax registration certificate issued — use SRC search result or the registration certificate showing BIN.
  • Sector-Specific License: NBK for banks/payments; ARDFM for securities/insurance; AFSA for AIFC financial services.
  • Governance Records: AO must have board of directors (min. 3 members) plus executive body.
  • Signing Authority: Branch head acts solely on notarized POA from parent company.
  • Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
  • Good Standing: Issued by the Ministry of Justice via egov.kz as an electronic reference (Anyqtama) carrying current status, BIN, registered address and director on a specified date. Digitally signed; verify QR code. Request a certificate dated within 30 days of submission.

​
Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

Notes

  • Single identifier: BIN serves as both the registry number and the corporate tax ID — collect one certificate; both businessInfo.taxId and businessInfo.businessEntityId take the same value.
  • BIN = TIN: Kazakhstan uses a single 12-digit BIN as both the corporate registry number and tax identification number. Do not request a separate “tax certificate” document — request the BIN extract from kgd.gov.kz or the registration certificate.
  • AIFC bifurcation: Entities registered with AFSA (publicreg.myafsa.com) are governed by English-common-law-modeled AIFC Acts, not Kazakh civil law. Their constitutive documents, share registers, and compliance filings differ from mainland entities; verify whether an entity is AIFC-registered before applying mainland document requirements.
  • No general municipal operating license: Unlike most CIS jurisdictions, Kazakhstan does not issue a general municipal trade permit. The e-license (elicense.kz) covers only ~500 regulated activity types; for unregulated businesses the Operating Permit field is genuinely N/A.
  • Kazakhstan is an Apostille Convention party (HCCH Status Table — confirmed as of 2026-05-06); foreign documents for branch registration must be apostilled and translated into Kazakh and Russian.
