Do I need to travel to Uzbekistan to register a company?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. Registration is filed under a power of attorney — presence is not required. Power of attorney — signed before a notary in your own country; the act names it first among the instruments a representative files on. The representative files in person — producing their own identity document and the document confirming their powers. The online route would need your own digital signature — obligatory for every non-citizen founder, which is why the filing goes through a representative. The bank’s identity check of the director — the only in-person step left, and a director on the ground attends it. The registration regulation permits a filing by a representative. Where documents are submitted in person by the applicant’s representative, the representative also produces a document identifying them and a document confirming their authority — a power of attorney, a contract, a decision of the founders of the legal entity, or another instrument executed as the law requires. The shareholder signs that one document in their own country and appears nowhere else. That route exists because the online one is closed to a founder without an Uzbek digital signature: requests for a company whose founders include non-citizens must carry those founders’ electronic digital signatures, obligatorily. The personal identification number (PINFL) and the signature itself are likewise obtained under the notarised power of attorney. The single in-person requirement that remains in practice is the bank’s identification of the director at account opening.
