How fast can an Uzbek company change its director?

Short answer

Ten minutes at a Public Services Centre — but that route does not update the founding documents.

Apply at any time, in person or through the System — on the prescribed director-change form (Registration Regulation, Para. 39² — lex.uz ↗)
Two documents travel with it — the participants’ decision changing the director, and the order starting the new director’s employment (Registration Regulation, Para. 39² — lex.uz ↗)
Ten minutes to review — checked against the register and against the company’s own founding documents (Registration Regulation, Para. 39³ — lex.uz ↗)
The central database updates in real time (Registration Regulation, Para. 39⁴ — lex.uz ↗)
The register entry is still owed — the fast update does not release the company from making the corresponding entry (Registration Regulation, Para. 39⁴ — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

A dedicated chapter gives the director change its own express route. A company may apply at any time, in person at a Public Services Centre or through the System, on the prescribed form, attaching the participants’ decision to change the director and the order commencing the new director’s employment. The officer reviews within ten minutes, checking the information against the register and that the participants’ decision was taken in accordance with the company’s founding documents, and the central database of legal entities updates in real time. (Registration Regulation, Paras. 39², 39³, 39⁴ — lex.uz ↗)

The trap is in the last sentence of the chapter. Changing the director’s details in the central database does not thereafter release the legal entity from its obligation to make the corresponding entry — the fast route updates the state’s director-of-record, and the founding documents and the register still have to catch up through the ordinary channel. A company that treats the ten-minute update as the whole job has a director in one state system and a different one in another. (Registration Regulation, Para. 39⁴ — lex.uz ↗)
