Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan's Road Traffic Safety Service has denied social media reports claiming that motorists will face fines of 10 base calculation units (BCUs) from 1 January for failing to obtain an environmental sticker for their vehicles or that the stickers will become subject to a fee.
The agency emphasized that there is no legal basis for introducing such penalties or charges and urged citizens to rely on information published through the official channels of authorized government bodies.
Uzbekistan operates an Environmental Transport system that classifies vehicles into three categories according to their environmental impact: green, yellow and red.
Motorists can obtain the relevant environmental sticker through the My.gov.uz public services portal or at registration offices of the Road Traffic Safety Service.
The initial issuance of an eco-sticker is free of charge, as is obtaining a replacement once a year.
Environmental stickers are issued without an expiration date, meaning vehicle owners are not required to renew them annually.
However, owners of vehicles classified in the yellow and red categories are entitled to undergo a free reassessment once a year to determine whether their vehicles qualify for a higher environmental category.
The procedures for issuing environmental stickers are established under Uzbekistan's Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 750, dated 28 November 2025.
The Road Traffic Safety Service recommended that motorists determine the environmental classification of their vehicles and obtain the corresponding stickers.
