The Ministry of Internal Affairs has denied information circulating on social media. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
Currently, information is spreading online that the IIN can be changed. However, under the law, citizens of Kazakhstan have the right to change only their name and other personal data.
"The IIN is assigned to a citizen once and is never changed again," law enforcement officials say.
It is worth noting that the minister reported to the president. Over the nine months of this year, more than 6.5 billion tenge has been returned to citizens affected by internet fraud.
