    Which institution can I contact to correctly write my shop sign?

    Answer

    The issue of coordinating the text of the sign is within the competence of the structural subdivisions of the local executive bodies of the city and districts involved in the development of languages.

    In accordance with Article 21 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 11, 1997 No. 151 "On Languages ​​in the Republic of Kazakhstan":

    “The texts of seals and stamps of state bodies contain their names in the state language.

    The texts of seals, stamps of organizations, regardless of the form of ownership, are compiled in the state and Russian languages.

    Forms, signs, announcements, advertisements, price lists, price tags, other visual information are presented in the state and Russian, and, if necessary, in other languages.

    Product labels (labels) with special information, markings, instructions for goods manufactured in Kazakhstan must contain the necessary information in the state and Russian languages.

    Product labels (labels) with special information, markings, instructions for foreign-made goods are provided with translation into the state and Russian languages ​​for account of funds of importing organizations.

    All texts of visual information are arranged in the following order: on the left or above - in the state language, on the right or below - in Russian, they are written in letters of the same size. As necessary, the texts of visual information can be provided additionally in other languages. At the same time, font sizes should not exceed the requirements established by regulatory legal acts. Oral information, announcements, advertisements are given in the state, Russian and, if necessary, in other languages.

    Therefore, the store sign must be designed in accordance with the requirements of this Law.
