Who registers companies in Uzbekistan?

Short answer

The Public Services Centres — and for an online filing, their software does it automatically.

The bodyPublic Services Centres — registration and re-registration are theirs; there is no separate companies house (Registration Regulation, Para. 2 — lex.uz ↗)
The systemThe state registration System — on an online filing it checks the data against the state databases and enters the register itself (Registration Regulation, Para. 16 — lex.uz ↗)
No approvalNobody weighs the merits — refusal on grounds outside the listed ones, including inexpediency, is not permitted (Registration Regulation, Para. 45 — lex.uz ↗)
ExcludedBanks are elsewhere — banks, credit bureaux and non-commercial organisations are outside this procedure entirely (Registration Regulation, Para. 1 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

Registration in Uzbekistan is an administrative act carried out by the Public Services Centres, and for a filing made over the internet it is carried out by their software rather than by a person: the System compares what was filed against the state databases, and where the two agree it enters the record in the register, generates the certificate and files both in the electronic document repository. An officer reads a file only where it comes in on paper, or where the filing touches the charter fund or a share transfer. (Registration Regulation, Paras. 2, 16 — lex.uz ↗)

The consequence worth knowing is that there is no discretion to persuade. The grounds for refusal are a closed list, and the act says in terms that refusing for any other reason — including that the registrar thinks the company inexpedient — is not permitted. A registration succeeds or fails on whether the file is complete and consistent with the state databases. (Registration Regulation, Paras. 40, 45 — lex.uz ↗)
