State Security Service Day in Kazakhstan Date in the current year: April 21, 2024

The State Security Service of Kazakhstan was officially formed in April 2014 by the merger of two agencies, the Presidential Security Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republican Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Presidential Security Service was created in 1992 following Kazakhstan’s declaration of independence. The Republican Guard was created several months later. Both agencies played a very important role in ensuring state security.

In April 2014, it was decided to merge the Presidential Security Service and the Republican Guard to create a new body responsible for ensuring state security named the State Security Service. Since its inception, the Service has ensured the security of important national and international events, such as the inauguration of President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the celebration of the anniversary of the capital of Kazakhstan, the Eurasian Economic Summit, and many others.

State Security Service Day was officially declared in May 2014 to emphasize the importance of this state agency and the accomplishments of its employees.
