Uzbekistan launches first business registration from October 15 to November 30, 2026

Uzbekistan is holding its first-ever business registration campaign from October 15 to November 30, 2026. UzA news agency published answers to the questions most frequently asked during the process.

For legal entities, registration staff will visit the premises where the business operates and enter general information such as the name, legal form, activity address, field of activity and contact details into a questionnaire on a tablet. Detailed economic data will be submitted online by legal entities through the hisobot.stat.uz (eStat 4.0) system. Information on individual entrepreneurs, family businesses and craftsmen will be collected in face-to-face interviews. Self-employed persons may complete the census questionnaire online through the census.stat.uz system.

If an entrepreneur works in several areas, the main activity is determined by the one that creates the greatest added value. If this cannot be determined, the activity with the highest turnover is considered main. Foreign citizens working at enterprises are also recorded, with their 2025 average number reported. Non-governmental non-profit organisations are also included. A short-number call center, 1851, has been launched to answer questions that may arise during the registration.
