2025: Registry Launch
On November 28, 2025, the Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan approved the rules for confirming the status of a domestic software manufacturer (software). This procedure is necessary to include the company in the register of Kazakhstani producers
As the online edition of the Zakon.kz explains, the software is equated with goods of domestic origin if produced in Kazakhstan and included in the register of trusted software and products of the electronic industry. The status of the manufacturer is confirmed for each individual software product that claims to be included in the register.
The key requirement is the level of localization. The maximum limit of the software localization share (SDPO) shall be at least 80%. At the same time, the total payments of the applicant to foreign legal entities and individuals, as well as Kazakhstani organizations controlled by them, cannot exceed 20% of the total expenses for the previous calendar year. These payments include royalties, fees for software development, modification and adaptation services.
To confirm the status, the applicant must provide a package of documents. It includes a report on the calculation of DLPO, copies of contracts confirming income and payments for the reporting period, as well as documents confirming the fact of software production. The latter include the order to start development, the terms of reference and the order to put into commercial operation.
In addition, documents are required confirming that the applicant has exclusive rights to software on the territory of Kazakhstan (copyright certificate, employment agreement on the creation of software in the order of performing official duties or official assignment of the employer, agreement on the alienation of rights). A list of employees involved in the development is also required.
The authorized body will conduct quarterly monitoring of the registry data to verify their relevance and authenticity of documents. The monitoring results are sent to the authorized body in the field of state stimulation of industry.
The order comes into force on January 1, 2026.[1]
