First steps

IIN and digital signature for foreigners

Without an IIN you can't open a bank account, register a company or sign an employment contract. We obtain your IIN — remotely by power of attorney where possible — and help you get a digital signature.

Questions & answers

What is an IIN?

The Individual Identification Number is a 12-digit number used across Kazakhstan's tax, banking and government systems. Most procedures require it.

Can I get an IIN without coming to Kazakhstan?

In many cases, yes — under a notarised power of attorney with an apostille or consular legalisation. We confirm feasibility and procedure during diagnostics.

What is the digital signature for?

It lets you use eGov public services, sign documents, file reports and manage your company online.

Can the digital signature be obtained remotely?

As a rule, the first signature requires in-person identification. Alternatives depend on your status and bank — we'll advise on the current option.
