Jogorku Kenesh Simplifies Document Procedures for Law Enforcement and Their Families

In a move aimed at streamlining bureaucratic processes, the Jogorku Kenesh (Kyrgyz Parliament) has passed a significant bill that will ease the documentation requirements for law enforcement personnel and their families. This legislative update, spearheaded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as part of a broader de-bureaucratization reform, seeks to simplify interactions between citizens and state institutions.

The core of the reform lies in the abolition of mandatory notarization for document copies submitted to government bodies. This change is expected to alleviate both financial and administrative pressures on officers and their relatives. Previously, the need to obtain and pay for notarized copies represented a tangible hurdle, particularly in sensitive situations.

A particularly impactful aspect of the new law addresses the procedures for disbursing benefits in cases where an officer dies in the line of duty. The requirement for notarized copies of death certificates and inheritance documents has been removed, ensuring a more efficient and less burdensome process for grieving families during an already difficult time. This simplification reflects a commitment to supporting those who serve the nation.
