Uzbekistan to accept e-documents instead of paper copies at banks and notaries

Citizens in Uzbekistan will be able to present electronic versions of documents instead of paper copies when receiving a number of services, the Ministry of Justice said. The relevant departmental documents were registered on October 20. Based on them, amendments and additions were made to 33 departmental documents.

Electronic versions of the biometric passport, ID card, birth and marriage certificates, pension certificate, disability certificate, war participant certificates and student card can be presented through the my.gov.uz portal and the Ijtimoiy karta mobile app. Electronic documents will be accepted for banking services and identity confirmation during certain financial operations, notarial actions, registration for domestic flights, compensation payments to war participants, and signing telecommunications service contracts.

They will also be accepted to confirm the identity of blood and blood component donors, when concluding contracts with pawnshops, when receiving paid services at social-medical institutions, and when registering citizens for military service. Electronic documents can also be used for a number of other services.
