Questions about this service

How does a branch differ from a representative office?

A branch can carry out commercial activity, while a representative office can only represent the company's interests without generating income.

Is an apostille required?

Yes, the parent company's documents must be legalized or apostilled and translated into Kazakh or Russian with notarization.

How long does the whole process take?

Including document preparation abroad — usually 3 to 6 weeks. Registration with the justice authorities itself takes 5–10 business days.
