Upon discharge from the hospital after childbirth, statement of live birth is issued to a woman. Pursuant to Article 187 of the Code "On Marriage (Matrimony) and Family", grounding for state registration of a child is a statement of live birth or a copy of a court decision establishing the fact of birth. The statement of live birth should contain all the required information about a child's mother (surname, name, patronymic (if any), as well as the date of birth and gender of a child, date of document issue. The statement should be certified by signature of an authorized employee and seal of a medical organization.
An application on child birth should be submitted by parents or one of them, and in case of their death, illness or inability for other reasons to submit an application – by interested persons or administration of a medical organization where a child was born to the registering authorities no later than three working days from the date of birth. In case of stillbirth, an application is submitted by an authorized employee of a medical organization no later than one working day from the moment of delivery.
State registration of child birth based on an application submitted after three working days is carried out on the basis of a statement drawn up by the registering authority in the form established by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan;
"In case of child birth outside the Republic of Kazakhstan, an application should be submitted by parents or other interested persons to foreign institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan no later than two months from the date of birth";
An application for state registration of a child birth is submitted to any registering authority on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan either in writing or online via the Portal as desired by parents or one of them.
The state registration procedure takes no more than two working days.
Also, the e-Government portal provides two options to apply for registration of a child birth online. First, parents register birth of a child online, then submit an electronic application for assignment of welfare payments. The second option involves getting a set of services related to child birth in the form of composite service. When receiving this service, you can apply for registration of a child birth in three stages, apply for child care benefits, and put a child into a waiting list for kindergarten (at the same time, each of the above services is also available separately).
Proactive registration of childbirth
Immediately after the birth of the child, parents receive an SMS-message with a congratulation, as well as an offer to receive a public service for registering the birth of the baby. A pilot project to provide proactive services related to the birth of a child is launched in all regions of Kazakhstan.
To provide a proactive service, it is necessary to link the mobile phone number to your IIN in your personal account on the EGP.
It will also be necessary to specify the account number for the registration of birth benefits. After state registration of birth, the necessary information about the child will be transferred to local executive bodies for registration in preschool institutions.
At the choice of the service recipient, the ready birth certificate can be taken in the PSC, or can order a delivery by courier to your home.
