Although in Kazakhstan people mainly use codes KATO (rus. - Classifier of Administrative Territorial Objects), an analogue of the Russian classifier OKATO, we offer to apply:

ADM1_PCODE = Two first characters of code according ISO 3166-2 ("KZ") + AB characters of KATO (two first characters from TE), and

ADM2_PCODE = Two first characters of code according ISO 3166-2 ("KZ") + AB + CD + EF characters of KATO (two six characters from TE), for administrative units 1 level there are also geocodes according to ISO 3166-2.

Almaty, Shymkent and Baykonyr has an specific status (City of Republican Significance), but Baykonur (a city near the World's First Spaceport) considered as the city and the rayon in a surrounding Kyzylorda Region on this POINT dataset.
