"Thanks to the updated service, guardians of individuals over the age of 18 who have been declared legally incapacitated by the court can now submit online applications for special services through the eGov.kz portal," the Public Relations Department of JSC "National Information Technologies" reported.

To access the services, users need to:
- log in to the eGov.kz portal and navigate to the "Social security provision" section;
- then, in the "Support for people with disabilities" section, select the required service from the provided list;
- sign the service request using an electronic digital signature (EDS).
Users can check the service result in their personal account (in the "Service history" section). A notification about the application processing will be sent within the timeframe specified by the state authority.
