Kazakhstan and Georgia agreed to issue and exchange truck permits in electronic format starting July 22, the Kazakh Transport Ministry announced after bilateral talks in Astana. The e-Permit system aims to eliminate paperwork and corruption risks at borders. The two countries also plan to make quotas unlimited once the system is fully operational.
Digital Permit System
Starting July 22, Kazakhstan and Georgia will test the electronic exchange of truck permits via the e-Permit platform, the Kazakh Transport Ministry said. The system digitizes document flow to eliminate lengthy administrative procedures and ensure transparent control of cross-border transport. Officials expect it to speed up processing of international trips.
Quota Expansion
For 2026, the two countries agreed to exchange an additional 6,000 permits for trucks. For 2027, a preliminary quota of 20,500 units was set, 6,000 more than the previous limit. The ministry said the increased quotas and digital tools will help Kazakh transport companies deliver goods faster and cheaper along international corridors.
What's Next
The e-Permit system will begin test operations on July 22. It remains unclear when the quotas will become fully unlimited, as that depends on the system's successful rollout.
