DIGITALIZATION OF LICENSING PROCEDURES IN THE MOTOR TRANSPORT SECTOR: LEGAL GUARANTEES FOR ANTI-CORRUPTION

Abstract

The article examines the legal and institutional aspects of digitalization of licensing procedures in the transport sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan through the prism of their anti-corruption potential. The author analyzes the current state of the regulatory framework governing digital licensing, identifies existing problems, including fragmentation of legislative norms, insufficient interdepartmental coordination and limited control mechanisms. Particular attention is paid to the role of e-government and information and communication technologies in minimizing corruption risks at the stages of filing, reviewing and issuing licenses. Based on the generalization of international experience (Estonia, South Korea, Georgia, etc.), directions for improving the digital licensing infrastructure are proposed, including the introduction of the "single window" principle, the development of open registries and the use of blockchain technologies. The article substantiates the need for institutional reforms accompanying digital innovations and emphasizes the importance of political will in ensuring genuine transparency and accountability in the management of the transport sector.
