Kazakhstan to Introduce New Rules for Revoking Notary Licenses

Kazakhstan is introducing extensive regulatory changes for private notaries. The main objectives of the legislative amendments are to bring transparency to the profession, eliminate opportunities for fraud, and fully transition notary services into digital formats.

Under the updated rules, the Ministry of Justice and its regional justice departments are granted official authority to conduct both scheduled and unscheduled inspections of private notaries and regional notary chambers.

Enhanced oversight is designed to monitor compliance with professional standards, allowing regulators to revoke operating licenses from non-compliant notaries under the revised framework.
