1

Open tazaqala.com

  • Scan the QR code from a poster or flyer;
  • or search for “tazaqala” and open tazaqala.com.

Tap “Report a problem” on the home page — or the green “Report” button at the top of any page.

“Photo” step: the “Take a photo” button

Photograph the problem

  • Tap “Take a photo” — the camera opens right away;
  • capture the whole spot so it is easy to recognise;
  • if the photo has a geotag, the map pin is placed automatically.

Check the spot on the map

  • Tap “Detect my location” or tap the map;
  • the region, district and address fill in automatically — marked “detected automatically”;

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Didn't find an answer? Write to us: info@tazaqala.kz

Do I need to register to report a problem?

No, you can report anonymously. However, points and report history are only available after registration.

Why can’t I upload a photo from my gallery?

A fresh camera shot proves the problem exists right now and usually stores the exact location. That way crews don’t travel to spots that are already clean.

The location is wrong — what should I do?

Drag the pin on the map or tap the right spot. The region, district and address can be corrected by hand.

Why was my report rejected?

The moderator always states the reason — it arrives in a notification. Most often it is a blurry photo, an incorrect district, or a duplicate.

When will the problem be cleaned up?

Timelines depend on the district cleanup service. Track the status — you will receive a notification with a photo when the work is complete.
