Technical inspection is a mandatory requirement for all the vehicles registered and operating on the territory of Kazakhstan. This rule also applies to foreign vehicles and trailers to ensure safety on public roads.

Previously, inspection operators only needed to submit a notification on the commencement or termination of their activities to start work. However, recent legislation requires obtaining an official permit, which is issued by the territorial bodies of the Motor Transport and Transport Control Committee under the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

To get the service, the user needs to:

• sign in to the elicense.kz portal and go to the «Transport» - «Permits» section;
• select the service «Issuance of a permit for the technical inspection operator» and fill-in the relevant information;
• mark the required subtypes of activity;
• fill-in the required data;
• sign an application using one of the available signing methods.

To obtain the permit, the operator must attach an education certificate or a technical inspection specialist certificate, an identity document, information about the equipment, and 10 photos of the building’s interior and exterior. In addition, depending on the chosen subtype of activity, additional documents are required: for opening a mobile technical inspection line - information about the state registration of the vehicle; for opening a stationary technical inspection line - information about the state registration (or re-registration) of the legal entity and title documents for the real estate.

The permit is issued within 8 working days and will be available in your personal account in the form of an official permit document.

The new service was launched thanks to the joint work of the Public Services Committee under the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, National Information Technologies JSC and the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
