Is Kazakhstan a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Kazakhstan since 30 January 2001, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Kazakhstan with no embassy step.
The route to Kazakhstan
A USDA Animal Health Export Certificate is issued by USDA — APHIS Veterinary Services, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Kazakhstan, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Kazakhstan for employment and family matters. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
