Consular Legalization of Civil Registry Documents in Almaty and Astana

If you plan to use civil registry documents outside Kazakhstan, you need to undergo consular legalization. An apostille is not accepted by all countries — in many cases, full consular certification is required.

The service includes:

• Verification of the original document (birth, marriage, divorce, name change certificates, etc.)
• Translation into the required language with notarization
• Certification by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• Final legalization at the consulate of the destination country
• Assistance in reissuing a lost civil registry document, if necessary

Properly prepared and legalized documents will be officially recognized abroad and valid for use in courts, residence permit applications, marriage registration, citizenship procedures, and more.
