History

The Presidential Security Service and the Repuican Guard of Kazakhstan were created in 1992 following Kazakhstan’s independence from the USSR. The Republican Guard was created several months later. Both agencies played a very important role in ensuring state security. The State Security Service was established by the Decree of Kazakhstan's President on April 21, 2014 as a result of a merger of the Presidential Security Service and the Republican Guard.[3][4]

State Security Service Day was officially declared in May 2014 as a professional holiday in order to emphasize the importance of the service.
