Who will oversee the operations of vehicle inspection operators in Kazakhstan?

The Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan will now be responsible for issuing such permits.

The document will take effect on April 5 of this year.

As explained by the Committee for Road Transport and Transport Control, previously, to open a vehicle inspection center, it was sufficient to send a notification to the regional transport control inspections.

This did not require confirmation of the necessary material and technical base: equipment, premises, and qualified personnel.

However, this is no longer the case. The notification procedure has been replaced with a permitting one. This means that to establish vehicle inspection centers, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs will need to obtain a permit and confirm that they meet all the requirements: suitable premises, certified equipment, and qualified staff.

Thus, such measures are expected to help cleanse the market of low-quality operators who cannot provide adequate and high-quality vehicle inspections.
