Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan has allowed citizens to present digital versions of documents instead of paper originals when accessing banking, notarial, telecommunications and certain other services. The changes have been introduced through amendments to 33 departmental regulations, the Ministry of Justice said.
Digital documents available on the Unified Portal of Interactive Public Services, my.gov.uz, and in the Ijtimoiy karta (Social Card) mobile application can now be used in place of paper originals.
The changes cover biometric passports, ID cards, birth and marriage certificates, pension certificates, disability certificates, war veteran identification cards and student ID cards.
Digital documents can be presented at banks to verify identity when accessing services and conducting certain financial transactions. They can also be used at notary offices when carrying out relevant notarial procedures and at airports when checking in for domestic flights within Uzbekistan.
Paper documents will also no longer be required when processing compensation for war veterans, signing contracts for telecommunications services and with pawnshops, donating blood or blood components to verify a donor’s identity, and obtaining paid services at medical and social care institutions.
Digital versions of documents can also be used to register citizens for military service and access certain other services.
Uzbekistan began introducing unified digital services for identity and some other documents in 2025.
