Uzbekistan accepts digital IDs for banking and travel
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Justice enabled citizens to use digital documents instead of paper copies when interacting with banks, notaries, and at airports.
The government amended 33 regulations to allow digital versions of passports, ID cards, birth certificates, and other official records. People can now access services like financial transactions, notarial procedures, and domestic flight check-in by presenting these documents through the Unified Portal of Interactive Public Services, my.gov.uz, or the Ijtimoiy karta mobile application.
This change also removes the need for physical documents when applying for veteran’s compensation, signing telecom contracts, using pawnshops, donating blood, or receiving medical care. Uzbekistan started developing these unified digital services in 2025, and this update expands their application across several key sectors.
