“Both spouses sign one application with two digital signatures. When applying online, they may be at that moment in two different places, even cities”,  Project Manager of egov maintenance in National Information Technologies JSC Dias Kramsheyev told. He added that user, while staying in one city, may address the application to Civil Registry Office of another city where he/she intends to have marriage registered.

Note that the service on submission of application for marriage registration was launched on egov portal in 2010. To submit an e-application, it is compulsory that the marriage is the first one for both applicants, and that they do not have children. Submitting applications for registration of second and more marriages via the portal is impossible.

“It is demonstrable that young Kazakhstanis prefer obtaining services without leaving home. Today, over 570 services are available on the e-Government portal. No surprise that marriage registration became most popular of them, because young people are the active, employed part of population. They are able to save time by using the accessible services online”, a staff of Ministry of Justice Rizagul Zhumadilova said.
