1. Why e-document flow when working with the self-employed
Working with the self-employed produces documents: a GPH contract, an act of completed work, a consent to personal-data processing. On paper this is slow, especially when contractors are spread across the country. Electronic document flow with online signing removes couriers, scans and waiting.
2. What a digital signature and eGov Mobile are
eGov Mobile is the mobile app of Kazakhstan's e-government. Through it an individual issues a digital signature remotely, in a few minutes — keys from the National Certification Authority — and signs electronic documents. The digital signature can be linked to a 4-digit PIN and the device's built-in biometrics (Face ID / Touch ID) for one-tap signing.
3. Which documents get signed
- a GPH contract (for the result of a service);
- an act of completed work (services rendered);
- a consent to personal-data processing.
The payout receipt is a separate document: the self-employed person generates it themselves in e-Salyq Business (see the article on the e-Salyq receipt).
4. How QR signing works
- The system shows the document and a QR code.
- The contractor scans the QR in the eGov Mobile app.
- They review the document's contents and confirm the signature with their digital signature.
The signature is tied to the signer's IIN, so it confirms exactly their consent.
5. Legal force
In Kazakhstan an electronic document signed with a digital signature has the same legal force as a paper one with a handwritten signature — this is set by Kazakhstan's law on the electronic document and the electronic digital signature. So a contract and act signed online are fully valid for accounting and inspections.
