The service was launched on August 4, 2026. According to the Ministry of Health, the consent is signed by an electronic digital signature (EDS) and has the power of a citizen’s personal will.
"More than 14,000 Kazakhstanis registered their lifetime consent to cremation on eGov, another 899 people withdrew it," the ministry said in a statement.
At the same time, as specified in the department, the consent can be withdrawn only during life and only to the person himself through the same service, again signing the EDS application. The service is free, it is provided in no more than 15 minutes. If loved ones doubt the authenticity of the electronic record or believe that the law was violated during the organization of the cremation, they can challenge this in court.
