Do Tourists Need to Register in Uzbekistan?
Foreign visitors must register their place of stay in Uzbekistan. Hotels normally do it automatically; independent stays need more attention.
SHORT ANSWER
Yes — but hotels usually handle it for you.
Uzbekistan’s e-Government guidance says foreign nationals must register their place of stay within three working days of arrival. If you stay in a hotel, the hotel administration normally completes the registration automatically.
PRACTICAL INFO
Hotel, hostel or guest house
Ask at check-in whether your stay has been registered through the official system. Registered accommodation providers are expected to handle this for foreign guests.
PRACTICAL INFO
Staying in a private apartment or independently
Do not assume that a private stay is automatically registered. Uzbekistan uses the E-mehmon system for temporary registration, and the responsibility may fall on the host or the traveller depending on the arrangement.
If you change accommodation several times, each place should correctly record the stay.
