Ensuring the fulfillment of the obligation to pay customs duties and taxes 18.10.2026
Since November 2024, the module "Registration of enforcement of duties on customs payments and taxes" has been operating in the Keden digital system, providing for the submission of an application for registration of enforcement of duties on payment of customs duties and taxes (hereinafter referred to as collateral) when goods are placed under customs procedures for legal entities within the framework of registry activities. Within the framework of the unified information space, a full cycle of public service provision is provided - from submitting an application and conducting the necessary checks to registering the security and its further use in customs operations. In order to automate the verification of submitted information, information system integrations are implemented in the centralized Keden system. In particular, information on insurance contracts and bank guarantees is provided, as well as verification of the presence of encumbrances under pledge agreements. This allows for the necessary checks to be carried out directly in the information system without additional request and submission of relevant documents from participants in foreign economic activity. The system provides for displaying the status of the application and collateral at the stages of acceptance, registration, as well as when using collateral in the framework of relevant customs procedures and cases. For cases involving the use of a form for calculating the amount of collateral, participants in foreign economic activity are given the opportunity to apply for registration of collateral both before submitting a declaration of goods (DT) with subsequent binding of collateral to the DT, and after the formation of the FRO, depending on the chosen procedure. At the same time, the system implements automatic checks of the sufficiency of the collateral amount. After registration, the software is displayed in the DT control completion card. In addition, the system performs automatic checks on the compliance of the declarant's BIN/IIN, the grounds for the use of collateral and its status with the conditions necessary for the use of collateral. The implementation of these mechanisms makes it possible to further reduce the number of manual operations, speed up the process of providing software and ensure its registration and use directly in electronic format in the centralized Keden system.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1310002?lang=ru

Booking appointments for the unified nationwide electronic queue system 18.10.2026
As part of the Year of Digitalization, the "Government for Citizens" State Corporation continues to implement digital solutions aimed at improving the quality and convenience of accessing public services.A pilot project for booking queue tickets via a unified electronic queuing system was launched in September 2025 and rolled out in stages across Public Service Center (PSC) branches nationwide.

National Guard Conscripts Learn to Operate Drones 17.10.2026
Conscripts serving in Military Unit 5574 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Turkistan are learning to operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Since the beginning of this year, UAV operator training has been incorporated into the combat training program of the law and order troops, enabling conscripts to acquire modern military-applied skills and master a new specialty.Servicemen begin their training with a basic military course. During this period, they study general military regulations, undergo drill and fire training, adapt to the daily military routine and learn to operate as part of a unit. Alongside this training, they also learn to operate drones.In the training classroom, the Guardsmen study drone design, operating procedures, maintenance and the fundamentals of tactical application. The course includes training for a drone crew consisting of a crew commander, an FPV drone operator, a munitions specialist and a reconnaissance operator.Training is organized in stages. First, each serviceman develops skills according to his assigned specialty, after which he proceeds to group exercises. This approach helps crew members practice coordination and prepare to carry out their assigned tasks.Upon completing their training, the soldiers will begin patrol duty, helping maintain law and order and ensure the safety of residents and visitors to Turkistan.Modern technologies are becoming an integral part of military affairs. It is therefore important for Guardsmen to master new equipment and methods while still completing their compulsory military service. UAV operator training helps servicemen keep pace with technological advances, broadens their professional capabilities and improves the performance of tasks related to public safety and law enforcement.
