Digital transformation of legal system underway in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is undertaking a large-scale digital transformation of its legal system, introducing IT solutions that streamline the delivery of legal services while enhancing transparency and accessibility. To date, over 350,000 notarial services have been provided online. Particular attention is being paid to automating enforcement proceedings. Since August of last year, the Digital Bailiff project has been in operation - an automated system that independently performs procedural actions for debt collection. The use of this digital tool has saved Kazakh citizens over 1 billion tenge by eliminating commission fees charged by private bailiffs. Additionally, the Ministry of Justice has developed the E-Saraptama system to digitize forensic expert activities. This platform enables a fully electronic process for assigning and conducting expert examinations.

«Last year, even the International Union of Notaries came to observe our e-Notary project. We’ve reached a level where representatives from Europe and notarial chambers are visiting us to see how we’ve implemented this system, along with other aspects of our digital transformation. In terms of e-government, we rank 8th in public services and are confidently within the top 10 in the justice sector. Digitalization is essential - our primary goal is to make everything as convenient as possible,» said Bekbolat Moldabekov, Kazakh Vice Minister of Justice.
