Who to Trust? Kazakhstan Names Official Sources for Government Data
AI-generated illustration
Kazakhstan is moving to end situations in which government databases contain conflicting information about the same person, company or property. The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development has approved a list of national registers whose data will be considered official, Orda.kz reports.
Simply put, the state has determined which databases other government systems must trust. If information is already available in a national register, government agencies and public services must retrieve it directly instead of collecting it again or using another source.
The list includes more than 120 registers covering nearly every major area of life, from birth, education and employment to vehicles, real estate, social benefits and court cases.
The official data includes names, Individual Identification Numbers (IINs), dates of birth, addresses and information about real estate and land. The registers also cover companies, vehicles, disabilities, civil records, licenses, civil servants, education, health care and public procurement.
Vehicle information will come from the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ register, while driver’s license data will be taken from a separate database. Information about individuals and companies will come from databases maintained by the Ministry of Justice.
The list also includes registers of real estate, diplomas, university students and graduates, debtors, court decisions, pretrial investigations and wanted persons. Less obvious examples include databases of startups, tour guides, hotels, foreign visitors, clinic patients, oil companies and participants in the wholesale electricity market.
The organizations responsible for these systems must keep the information complete and up to date, manage access, ensure cybersecurity and allow official data to be exchanged between government systems free of charge.
Many of these databases already exist. The order formalizes their status and determines which systems government agencies must treat as the primary sources of official information.
