Starting a business in Kyrgyzstan in 2025–2026 has become significantly easier thanks to digitalization, tax reductions, and the possibility of remote registration. However, one essential element in the company formation process is the presence of a legal address. Without it, it’s impossible to register an LLC (OsOO) or a full-fledged individual entrepreneur (IE). In this article, we’ll explore why it is required, what the requirements are, and how to select the right option.
What is a Legal Address?
A legal address is the official company address registered with the Ministry of Justice and the Tax Authority. This address is included in the company’s founding documents and is necessary for:
- Receiving postal and tax correspondence;
- Interacting with government authorities (e.g., Tax Service, Social Fund, Statistics Office);
- Opening bank accounts;
- Filing documents in electronic systems (e.g., the Ministry of Justice’s Online Registration Portal).
Note: The address may differ from the actual place of business. For example, an IT company can operate fully remotely but have its address in Bishkek.
Who Must Provide a Legal Address?
- LLC (OsOO): Mandatory. When submitting documents for legal entity registration, an address must be provided.
- IE (Individual Entrepreneur): Usually, the residence address is sufficient. However, a dedicated legal address may be required when opening a bank account or participating in tenders.
Requirements for a Legal Address
According to Kyrgyz legislation, a legal address must:
- Be located within the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic;
- Be real and available for communication;
- Be confirmed by documents (e.g., a guarantee letter from the property owner).
Additionally, it’s important that the address is not used by an excessive number of companies. Otherwise, it may be classified as a “mass registration address,” attracting scrutiny from the tax authorities.
Options for Obtaining a Legal Address
1. Own Property
If the founder owns premises in Kyrgyzstan, they can use it as the legal address — provided they have ownership documents.
2. Renting an Office or Coworking Space
Companies often rent an office and indicate this address in their charter and contracts.
3. Purchasing Address Services from a Specialized Provider
This is a convenient option for remote registration, especially if you’re not in Kyrgyzstan or don’t own local property.
We provide legal addresses in Bishkek and the regions that fully comply with the requirements of the Ministry of Justice and banks.
How Much Does it Cost?
The cost depends on:
- Location;
- Rental term (from 3 months to 1 year);
- Additional services (e.g., mail forwarding, bank support).
Average cost: from $500 per year. If you order a full company or IE registration package through our firm, the legal address is included in the price.

Can You Do Without a Legal Address?
No. For LLC registration, it is mandatory.
For IE — in some cases, your residential registration address may suffice, but banks and tax authorities increasingly require a dedicated legal address for correspondence. Thus, even individual entrepreneurs often find it easier to specify a address from the start.
Why Is This Important?
Using a fake or invalid address can lead to:
- Rejection of company registration;
- Blocking of bank accounts;
- Inclusion on the list of “problematic” companies;
- Fines or mandatory re-registration.
