How to get an .edu.kz domain for a kindergarten
An .edu.kz domain is registered to the educational organisation itself — a Kazakhstan legal entity with a valid licence for educational activities. The organisation is confirmed with a digital signature (EDS) bearing its BIN, and its details are verified periodically. A contractor helps prepare the application and set up the site, but the kindergarten remains the domain owner.
Who can get .edu.kz
Under the .EDU.KZ zone rules, domains are registered to Kazakhstan legal entities holding a valid licence for educational activities [[ИСТОЧНИК: регламент регистрации доменных имён в зоне .EDU.KZ, nic.kz]].
For preschool organisations, check in advance which document confirms your right to operate and whether the registrar accepts it [[ИСТОЧНИК: требуется ли лицензия для дошкольной организации и какие документы принимает регистратор .edu.kz]].
Confirmation with an EDS bearing the BIN
The application is signed with the organisation’s digital signature — with the kindergarten’s BIN, not a private person’s or the contractor’s [[ИСТОЧНИК: регламент .EDU.KZ, порядок подтверждения через ЭЦП]]. Prepare the head’s (or an authorised person’s) legal-entity EDS in advance.
Periodic verification
The owner’s details are checked periodically: if the licence lapses or the details are not confirmed, the domain may be suspended [[ИСТОЧНИК: регламент .EDU.KZ, периодичность и порядок верификации]]. Make someone responsible for the deadlines.
Where the server must be
For domains in the .kz zone, the server running the site must be located in Kazakhstan [[ИСТОЧНИК: правила регистрации доменных имён в зоне .KZ, nic.kz]]. That is why hosting in Kazakhstan matters.
Step by step
- Check your documents: founding documents and a valid permit for educational activities.
- Prepare the organisation’s EDS with its BIN.
- Choose an accredited registrar and apply in the kindergarten’s name [[ИСТОЧНИК: список аккредитованных регистраторов .edu.kz]].
- After registration, set the DNS records your hosting gives you and check that the site opens over HTTPS.
- Renew the domain and pass verification on time.
What the contractor does and what the kindergarten does
The kindergarten owns the domain: the application is made in its name and signed with its EDS. The contractor helps gather documents, explains the steps and sets up DNS, HTTPS and the site itself. Do not register the domain to the contractor — you could lose the address when you change contractors.

FAQ
Can .edu.kz be registered to the contractor?
It should not be: the domain is registered to the educational organisation itself and confirmed with its EDS bearing the BIN. The contractor helps with the application and setup.
Does the contractor guarantee the domain will be issued?
No. The registrar decides under the .EDU.KZ zone rules. The contractor can only prepare the application correctly.
Can the site go live before .edu.kz is ready?
Yes. With BaqshaWeb the site works on our address straight away, and .edu.kz is connected later without moving any content.
