Can I reserve a company name in Uzbekistan before registering?

Short answer

Yes — picking one holds it for 60 calendar days, extendable by up to twelve months for one BCV.

60 daysThe hold — the chosen name is reserved to the applicant from the moment it is selected (Registration Regulation, Para. 11 — lex.uz ↗)
+12 monthsThe extension — renewable for a further period of not more than twelve months (Registration Regulation, Para. 11 — lex.uz ↗)
1 BCVWhat the extension costs — paid to the Ministry of Justice’s state services development fund (Registration Regulation, Para. 11 — lex.uz ↗)
LatinNames are picked from available Latin-alphabet names — and the System checks identity automatically as you type (Registration Regulation, Para. 11 — lex.uz ↗)
On lapseThe name goes, the rest of the draft stays — other details remain in the personal cabinet for viewing, editing and continuing (Registration Regulation, Para. 11 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

Name reservation is not a separate application — it happens the moment a name is chosen while the request is being built. The applicant selects from the available company names in the Latin alphabet, the System checks automatically whether the name is identical to an existing one, and the chosen name is then held for that applicant for 60 calendar days. Before the 60 days run out the applicant may extend the reservation for a further period of not more than twelve months on payment of one base calculation value. (Registration Regulation, Para. 11 — lex.uz ↗)

If the request is never sent, only the name is lost: the act cancels the name designation but keeps every other detail the applicant assembled in the personal cabinet, available to view, change and carry on with. Choosing a name again is simply the same step repeated. Responsibility for the name complying with the law on company names stays with the applicant, not with the registrar.
