In Kyrgyzstan, it is now possible to register an Individual Entrepreneur (IE) or a Limited Liability Company (LLC) entirely online. This became possible thanks to digital services that simplify all steps—from submitting an application to receiving the registration certificate.
Below is a step-by-step guide for registering an IE or LLC online, along with important information on who can access this service.
Online Registration of an Individual Entrepreneur (IE)
Step 1. Obtain a Digital Signature
To apply online, you will need either:
- An Electronic Digital Signature (EDS), or
- Access to the Unified Identification System (UIS) via Tunduk, Smart-ID, or Bank-ID.
If you already have access to one of these, you can proceed directly with the registration.
Step 2. Submit Your Application
You can register as an IE through:
- The official website of the State Tax Service: cabinet.salyk.kg
- Mobile applications such as Tunduk, MBusiness, MegaPay (you can register in just 5 minutes)
You will need to:
- Log in using your EDS or ID system
- Complete the application form
- Attach scanned copies of your passport and other required documents (temporary registration, PIN, and residence permit if you are not a citizen of Kyrgyzstan)
- Submit the application
The service is free of charge.
Step 3. Receive Your Certificate
After your application is processed (usually within one business day), an electronic certificate of IE registration will be issued. You can download it from your personal account or through a mobile app.
Next, either independently or with an accountant, you’ll register your business with the tax authorities and select the appropriate tax regime.
Step 4. Additional Steps
- Bank & Social Fund: For certain activities, you must open a bank account and register with the Social Fund.
- Licensing: If your activity requires a license (e.g., alcohol trade, medical or educational services), you’ll need to submit a separate application.
LLC Registration in Kyrgyzstan
Registering a legal entity (LLC) is slightly more complex but can also be done online—under certain conditions.
Step 1. Prepare the Required Documents
You will need:
- A unique company name
- A resolution to establish the LLC
- The company’s charter
- Copies of founders’ passports
- Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN) and EDS for residents
- Legal address in Kyrgyzstan
- Written consent from the director (if appointing an external person)
There may be one or multiple founders. The minimum charter capital is 1 KGS, but it is recommended to indicate at least 1,000 KGS in practice.
Step 2. Submit the Application Online
Online registration can be done via:
- The Ministry of Justice portal or with the help of agents
- Government services platforms or Tunduk
- A notarized power of attorney (if not submitted personally)
Steps:
- Log in with your EDS
- Upload documents
- Sign the application
- Submit for registration
The Ministry of Justice will review and register the LLC within 5–10 business days.
Step 3. Tax & Other Registrations
After registration, the Ministry of Justice automatically transfers data to the Tax Service. Next, you must:
- Register with the Social Fund
- Order a company seal
- Open a corporate bank account (mandatory for LLCs)
- Obtain licenses if your activity requires them
Timeframes
- IE: Registration takes from a few minutes to 1 business day
- LLC: The process can take 1–2 weeks, including bank account opening
After registration, IT companies can immediately apply for HTP residency—this can also be done online.
Who Can Use Online Registration?
Important: Online registration of IEs and LLCs is available only to residents of Kyrgyzstan, meaning:
- Citizens of Kyrgyzstan
