Source and verification
This page uses official public guidance from eGov.kz / Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan. Some biometric values remain generalized where the public source does not publish every numeric detail.
Official Kazakhstan driving-licence guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. eGov.kz requires an uploaded photo for the driving-licence service and links to photo requirements; Kazakhstan's official photo-requirements file specifies 3.5 × 4.5 cm / 413 × 531 px identity-document parameters. Because the detailed photo matrix is linked as a general requirements file rather than repeated inline on the driving-licence page, this profile remains official-general.
