Report Uzbekistan. ID documents and passports – Landinfo
6.1: LEGISLATION
The population in Uzbekistan generally has inadequate knowledge of applicable laws and rules (Tadjibayeva, meeting 7 February 2012; OECD 2011) and there also seems to be uncertainty on the regulations for passport issuance, residency registration and entry/exit. Questions related to the issuance and renewal of passports and exit visas for Uzbeks living abroad has been a popular topic on the Uzbek discussion forum arbuz.com.12 Questions on procedures, conditions and consequences for violating the regulations on exit have been the subject of discussion (see, for example, Landinfo 2011 on exit provisions). It is a problem that the rules are being enforced arbitrarily, in addition to being subject to political manipulation and corruption (see chapter 7 on corruption).
