charter of RK and Instruction about consular legalization.

There are also other kinds of the assurance of documents.

The documents given by official authorities by one of the parties are considered as official ones and are used in the territory of other party as the official documents. The additional certificate of these documents as consular legalization and stamp "apostil" is not required.

In the international consular practice there are cases, when the consular legalization is cancelled concerning a separate category of documents. The Republic of Kazakhstan concluded such agreements in the bilateral order with a number of the CIS states and distant foreign countries. The Agreement between the Governments of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in the field of a railway transportation provides that "the contracting Parties will cooperate in the field of preparation of the experts of a railway transportation and recognize the qualifying documents given by each of the contracting Parties, which will have equal legal force in the territories of both states and not require legalization",
