Registering yourself in Atyrau, Kazakhstan
 

If you need to Register yourself in Atyrau, Western Kaz you can do so here: N47.09347 E051.92116.

Its an ominous back door but go up the steps into the room and hand them your passport explaining you need to register. They do most of the leg work, you just need to fill in your vehicle details with some of their help. We explained we were not staying in hotels and they just put down our vehicle registration number!

Took a few hours but we did it and it was free.

Thought the info was worth sharing instead of keeping it on my GPS where it is of no use.

Thank You!
 

Hi!

Arrived in Atyrau from Astrakhan yesterday - and have spent the last hour in our hotel room struggling to find the registration address.

Checked here on the off chance and straight to your post!
Will follow your GPS coords this morning and see how we get on.

Thank you!

Registration Process
 

Yep - your coords were spot on. Thanks!

Took 45 minutes in total - including the trip out to get the photocopies we needed (the copies of docs we carry are colour laminates that we don't want to give up too easily).

The helpful police guy directed us left from the gate, right on the main street and 50 metres on the right (just before the big blue Eurasian bank on the left of the road) is a Police / Army kit shop with "APMEHCKNN" above the door in cammo coloured letters.

In there in office on right was a copy place. Needed 2 x copies of the vehicle ownership docs, 1 x copy of each of the passport ID page, Kazakh visa, and also a copy of the immigration slip we got at the border. Less than a £1 for the copies.

As you say - they did the work, we waited, it was free...sorted!

ooo... they did the copies for us!

Luck of the draw I guess jeiger

I registered in Almaty. Gave them the address of the cheapest hotel I could find on the internet. They never checked.

When I got to the border in Northern Kazakh, on the way to barnaul from Semey, the head dude didn't even know what the registration paper was. He only wanted to see the original white paper from the border entry. Luckily I had both. The girl I'm riding with now didn't have the original and it took forever to get that sorted.

I take it you mean Immigration Paper?

Noah, could you drop me the Co-ords of the OVIR in Almaty please? We will be crossing over from Karakol in a day or 2 so will need to register for our transit north to Russia.

Cheers bier

I'm at Aqtobe, registration is taking 2 days. Nothing I can do, office staff ok. Just said yesterday. Come back tomorrow with invoice from hotel. So I did at 9 am, they said come back at 3pm for passport. I tried to do registration Friday in Atyrau. But office closed.
Staying at Ayham hotel, which is 5 mins from registration office. Bike secure and staff very nice. 6,600 a night off booking.com

Sorry for the question, but I am going to rush through Kazakhstan in 2 days from Kirgistan.

In this case, do I also have to register?

Only if you are more than 5 days you need to register. If you dont register 200 USD fine can be issued in border when leaving country.

Some countries have special arrangement with Kazakstan and their citizens can stay if i remember correctly up to 90 days without registration (can be wrong about amount of dates though)

I think I'm close to you? Heading to kansk next and irkursk. Little Rouge Explores on Facebook

I will go to the russian altai and then cross Mongolia...
