What are the naming rules for an Uzbek LLC?

Short answer

The full name states the limited-liability form in words; the short form may use MChJ.

Full nameCarries the form in words — the full company name must contain the words “limited liability company” in the state language (LLC Law, Art. 5 — lex.uz ↗)
MChJThe short form — the abbreviated name carries the company’s name plus the form in words or the abbreviation MChJ (LLC Law, Art. 5 — lex.uz ↗)
No borrowed formsOther legal-form markers are barred — terms and abbreviations reflecting another form, foreign-borrowed ones included, cannot enter the name unless a legislative act allows them (LLC Law, Art. 5 — lex.uz ↗)
Foreign flagFounders’ nationality may show — a company created with foreign participation may include an indication of its founders’ state (LLC Law, Art. 5 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

The company may hold its full and short name in the state language and, at its choice, in other languages. The full name must contain the words for “limited liability company”; the short name carries the name with the form in words or the abbreviation MChJ. Terms and abbreviations reflecting a different organisational form — including ones borrowed from foreign languages — cannot appear in the name unless legislative acts allow them, and a company founded with foreign participation may indicate its founders’ nationality in the name. (LLC Law, Art. 5 — lex.uz ↗)

The same article obliges the company to hold a postal address and to notify the registration authority when it changes. (LLC Law, Art. 5 — lex.uz ↗)
