Can I use a virtual office address to register a company in Uzbekistan?

Short answer

No. The registry requires real premises with a cadastre number.

The groundAn address absent from the tax and cadastre databases is a refusal — the act makes it one of the enumerated grounds (Registration Regulation, Para. 40 — lex.uz ↗)
CadastreThe registry ties every company to real premises — identified by a cadastre number at registration
The bankVerifies the address independently — during onboarding, on its own checks
Your ownOwn premises work — what the registry needs is the property’s cadastre number, whoever provides it
What the law provides

The registration act does not use the phrase "virtual office", but it forecloses one: among the enumerated grounds for refusing registration is the absence, from the databases of the tax and cadastre authorities, of the address information the business entity stated in its founding documents. An address that the state cannot find in its own property records is refused, however genuine the mail service behind it. (Registration Regulation, Para. 40 — lex.uz ↗)

So a forwarding address without a real property record fails twice: the registry checks the address against those databases at registration, and the bank verifies it independently when the account opens. Real premises pass both — whether rented as a registered-address service or owned by the company itself. The address then goes onto the public register as the company’s location. (State Register Regulation, Para. 5 — lex.uz ↗)

An address that passes both checks

Real, cadastre-registered premises the registry accepts and the bank verifies.
