In Kazakhstan, basic notarial services (powers of attorney, spouse consent, etc.) can be arranged online through the eGov Mobile application in the eNotary service ("Digital Notary").
What is a power of attorney and when is it possible to do it "in 5 minutes"
Step-by-step instructions for registration:
1 log in to the eGov Mobile application;
2 fill out the application and sign it using an electronic digital signature (EDS);
3 make a video call to the notary from the application to confirm your identity;
4 pay for the notary service at the established rate;
5 receive the digital power of attorney in the "Digital Documents" section.
After the session is completed, the finished digital document will appear in the "Digital Documents" section in eGov Mobile. The document has the same legal force as a paper one.
What you need to have on hand:
A smartphone with the eGov Mobile application and a camera for video calls.
A valid Individual Identification Number (IIN) and EDS (or biometric verification completed).
Access to a good internet connection.
Complex transactions, such as the sale and purchase of real estate, still require personal presence at the notary's office.
Currently, the list of notarial services available online has been expanded; while initially only three types of powers of attorney could be arranged online during the first phase of the project, now all types of powers of attorney, except those related to the disposal of property, are available electronically through eGov Mobile.
