TL;DR. Kazakhstan’s BIN/IIN lookup is the Bureau of National Statistics page at https://stat.gov.kz/en/juridical/by/bin/, titled BIN/IIN Search. That page says the search function for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs has moved to the user account and asks users to log in, so no anonymous lookup is available there and no tenge tariff is published; fees in this guide are unknown rather than free. Confirm at source. The State Revenue Committee taxpayer search at portal.kgd.gov.kz is reachable, as is the AIFC public register at https://publicreg.myafsa.com.
What is the official Kazakhstan business registry?
Kazakhstan registers commercial entities under the Law on State Registration of Legal Entities and Recording of Branches and Representative Offices (Law No. 1198, 1995, as amended). The Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms operates the Statistical Business Register (SBR). The BIN/IIN page is https://stat.gov.kz/en/juridical/by/bin/. It states that the search function of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs and OKED has moved to the user account, and that access requires a login.
https://stat.gov.kz is the Kazakh bureau home. https://egov.kz/cms/en forwards to https://egov.kz/kk, the Kazakh digital-government home, so that English path is not an English search form.
The State Revenue Committee taxpayer search is at https://portal.kgd.gov.kz/en/pages/info-services/find-taxpayer, titled Taxpayer Search.
Every legal entity registered in Kazakhstan is assigned a Business Identification Number (BIN) at registration: a 12-digit code. Sole proprietors use an Individual Identification Number (IIN) instead.
What can you search?
BIN/IIN (login-gated on the live page):
The BIN/IIN page does not present an anonymous search form; it tells users to log in to the user account. Result fields such as name, status and OKED sit behind that notice; confirm at source.
Taxpayer search (kgd):
The taxpayer search is titled Taxpayer Search (State revenue committee). Its field list and any fees are not stated there; confirm at source.
AIFC (separate regime):
https://publicreg.myafsa.com is online. The page lists registered-entity index categories (private companies, public companies, partnerships, foundations, and related types). AIFC entities are not the national BIN search.
The BIN page describes no beneficial-ownership register for the national system; confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (KZT) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| BIN search (stat.gov.kz user account) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Taxpayer status check (kgd.gov.kz) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Company registration certificate (egov.kz) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified paper extract (Public Service Centre) | Unknown | Unknown |
No tenge or US dollar figures appear on the BIN/IIN page. The only mention of “free” there refers to the unified contact centre 1446, not to company search, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
Yes for the BIN/IIN search path. The page instructs users to log in to the user account. https://cabinet.stat.gov.kz/ is the respondent cabinet, titled in Kazakh, and asks for an NCALayer or EDS certificate. For a foreign buyer without a Kazakhstani EDS, the BIN page is not an anonymous lookup.
Is the website in English?
Partial. The BIN/IIN page title and the login notice are in English. Company names are recorded in Kazakh and Russian. egov.kz/cms/en forwards to the Kazakh path /kk. The taxpayer search carries an English title.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. The BIN page is a login notice rather than a results page, and no turnaround is published; confirm at source.
Is there an API?
No public API for the Statistical Business Register is documented on the BIN page. OpenSanctions includes a Kazakhstan State Register dataset derived from public sources; it should not replace direct BIN verification.
What you legally cannot do
Kazakhstan’s Law on Personal Data and its Protection (Law No. 94-V, 2013, as amended) governs personal data derived from registry records. Bulk automated scraping and republishing official registry data commercially without authorization are restricted. US Executive Order 14114 expanded OFAC secondary sanctions coverage for third-country facilitation of Russia-related evasion. Screen Kazakhstani counterparties against the OFAC SDN list and the EU Consolidated Sanctions List.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- BIN is the anchor identifier. The 12-digit BIN is stable across company name changes. Always collect the BIN from a Kazakhstani counterparty.
- The search is behind a login. The BIN/IIN page is not a no-account public form; its own text moves search to the user account.
- EAEU membership creates Russia exposure. Kazakhstan is a founding member of the Eurasian Economic Union. Apply enhanced due diligence to sectors used for transshipment (electronics, industrial equipment, logistics).
- AIFC is a separate register. If a counterparty claims AIFC incorporation, verify on publicreg.myafsa.com, not only on the national BIN page.
- The egov English path forwards away. https://egov.kz/cms/en lands on /kk. For the global context on EAEU jurisdictions, see our Global Business Due Diligence Guide.
Alternatives if you cannot access the national registry directly
- Aggregator search (indicative only): OpenCorporates and OpenSanctions index Kazakhstani company data but lag official sources.
- AIFC Public Register (publicreg.myafsa.com): online, and the page describes free access to the public register for AIFC entities. Separate from the national BIN system.
- State Revenue Committee taxpayer search (portal.kgd.gov.kz taxpayer search): reachable.
The AIFC: a separate compliance regime
The Astana International Financial Centre is a special economic zone operating under AIFC Acts and administered by the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA). AIFC entities appear on the AFSA public register, not as a substitute for the national BIN login path. Any counterparty claiming AIFC incorporation that does not appear on publicreg.myafsa.com warrants heightened scrutiny. The AIFC’s own beneficial-ownership rules are not set out on that register page; confirm at source.
Local data suppliers
- Interfax Kazakhstan (interfax.kz). Commercial credit reports and company profiles for Kazakhstani entities.
- CredInform (credinform.ru/kz). Regional provider covering Kazakhstan and other CIS states. Russian-language primary interface.
Use the national registry portals for primary-source BIN verification when the user account is reachable. Use a commercial provider when you need payment history or financial risk scoring.
FAQ
Can a foreign company access the Kazakhstan registry directly?
The BIN/IIN page is reachable and tells users to log in to a user account, so it is not an anonymous search form. cabinet.stat.gov.kz asks for an EDS or NCALayer certificate; confirm at source.
What is the BIN in Kazakhstan?
The Business Identification Number (BIN) is a 12-digit code assigned to all legal entities registered in Kazakhstan. Sole proprietors use their personal IIN instead of a BIN.
What entity types are registered with the national business register?
Kazakhstan’s registry covers limited liability partnerships (LLP), joint-stock companies (JSC), state enterprises, cooperatives, non-commercial organizations, and branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities. AIFC-registered entities are registered separately with AFSA.
Does Kazakhstan have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?
The BIN/IIN page describes no beneficial-ownership search, and no public national UBO search is confirmed here; confirm at source.
How current is the data in the Kazakhstan registry?
Data freshness is not stated on any reachable search-results page, because search has moved to the user account; confirm at source.
Is Kazakhstan on the FATF grey list?
No. Kazakhstan is not on the FATF Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring (grey list) as last recorded here. See fatf-gafi.org for current status.
What’s the difference between the national registry and the AIFC register?
The national Business Register covers companies incorporated under Kazakhstani law, with BINs. The AIFC Public Register covers companies incorporated under AIFC Acts. The two registries do not overlap: an entity appears in one or the other, not both.
