Valid Forms of ID for Domestic Air Travel in Kazakhstan
To ensure a smooth check-in process, it is important to know the accepted forms of identification for domestic flights within the country. Check-in and boarding can be completed using either original paper or plastic identity documents. In addition, passengers have the option to use digital documents, such as the national identity card and birth certificate, through the eGov digital document services at check-in and boarding points in all Kazakhstan airports. Please note that the use of electronic documents is contingent on the availability of functioning document reader equipment at the departure airport and that the use of electronic documents is not allowed on international destinations.
Accepted Identity Documents for Air Travel within Kazakhstan
Passport (for citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan - with IIN).
National identity card (for citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan - with IIN).
Residence permit of a foreign citizen in the Republic of Kazakhstan (with IIN).
ID card of a stateless person.
Document Requirements for Travelling with Children

When traveling abroad with a child, the child must have his/her own passport, with a birth certificate serving as a valid identity document for the child. 


If a person under the age of 16 travels with his/her own passport while accompanied by parent(s), he/she must also carry a birth certificate to confirm the parent's status.  


On domestic flights within Kazakhstan, an electronic birth certificate (accessible through the digital document service) is accepted for identification of children under 16 years of age who are citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, only if they are traveling with their parents (legal representatives).


If citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the age of 16 are traveling as unaccompanied minors or are accompanied by authorized persons who are not their parents (legal representatives), they must carry a paper identity document (birth certificate) or a foreign passport of a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan for check-in and boarding.


When children or underage citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan travel with adults, the airline may require the child's birth certificate and documents proving kinship or legal rights to accompany the child.  


If an adult accompanying the child is not the parent or legal guardian, they should have a notarized power of attorney, in either paper or digital format, confirming their right to accompany the child. 


Travelers going abroad should familiarize themselves with the host country's requirements for underage children, as they may need a separate passport to stay in the host country.
