The first Kazakh news agency was established on August 13, 1920, as the Orenburg-Turgai branch of ROSTA. In 1925, it was renamed KazROSTA, and in 1937 it was transferred to the Council of People's Commissars of the Kazakh SSR under the name KazTAG.
In 2023, JSC International Information Agency Kazinform was reorganized through its merger with the Republican State Enterprise on the Right of Economic Management “President's Television and Radio Complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan”.
