The department warned about fraudsters who, for a fee, offer to arrange driver's licenses, medical certificates, military IDs and other documents bypassing the established procedure.
Police urged people not to give money to intermediaries: such offers can result in financial losses and legal consequences.
Earlier, similar cases were recorded in the Akmola Region, where citizens fell victim to schemes promising to quickly obtain various documents without following procedures. Law enforcement officers regularly carry out preventive measures aimed at protecting the rights and legitimate interests of residents of the region.
Police remind the public that any offers to process documents bypassing the established procedure should raise suspicion. Giving money to intermediaries not only creates a risk of financial losses but may also lead to legal consequences for the citizens themselves.
