Documents for Children: how it works in Kazakhstan — first-hand
From real experience
how-toFor enrolling Russian children in schools in Kazakhstan, prepare the following documents: birth certificate (SORS), child's international passport, your Kazakhstan residence permit (VNZh) or temporary residence permit (RVP), medical certificates (065/u, 052-2/u, sometimes 026/u), and potentially the child's academic record from their Russian school.
A local medical record will also be needed, which can be processed based on the Russian one. Procedures may vary by city; for instance, Almaty assigns schools by district, while other regions might offer more flexibility. Enrollment is generally straightforward as education is mandatory for all children.

ruleFor Russian citizen children traveling to Kazakhstan: Children under 14 years old require a valid Russian international passport (загранпаспорт) to exit Russia.
Children aged 14 and older can travel using their internal Russian passport (паспорт РФ). Ensure the passport used is valid for the entire duration of the trip, including the return date.

riskChildren traveling internationally from Russia, even if they are 5 years old or have their birth certificate included in a parent's passport, require their own international passport for departure from Russia.
Entry into other countries may become irrelevant if the child cannot exit Russia.

ruleChildren under 14 years of age generally do not require a separate Temporary Residence Permit (RVP) to stay in Kazakhstan if they are accompanying a parent who holds a valid residence status (e.g., VNZh or RVP).
Their presence is often linked to the parent's permit.
