Kazakhstan will put into effect its "e-government" system in mid-April, head of Kazakhstan's Information and Telecommunications Agency Askar Zhumagaliyev said. Some 32 of the 34 state bodies and institutions already have their own websites, forming the infrastructure for implementing the e-government portal. The people of Kazakhstan can take advantage of the portal's interactive information services, such as obtaining tax declaration forms and licenses over the Internet, and online shopping.
In addition, all Kazakh residents will be assigned identification numbers which are to be quoted in their new passports and other documents. This electronic number will help identify the person on the Internet, and serve as an access key to officials and various services.
