In Uzbekistan, the system of organization and accounting of funeral procedures and the introduction of effective control mechanisms in this area are being improved, according to a government decree.
According to the information, it is expected that the issuance of burial permits and their accounting will be transferred to a digital format. To monitor these processes through the electronic system, new electronic services are being introduced.
By June 1, 2026, a module “Unified Electronic Book of Funeral Records” will be developed within the “Unified Electronic Archive of Civil Registry Offices” information system with a corresponding mobile application.
Starting March 1, 2026, after the death is registered, the deceased’s relatives will receive an electronic death notification with a QR code in their personal account on the my.gov.uz portal, which will be provided free of charge. This notification is equivalent to a stamped certificate. From July 1 to December 31, 2026, a new procedure for conducting funerals will be introduced in Tashkent as an experiment.
The permission for the burial will be issued only by a module or mobile application under the supervision of the cemetery’s responsible person. The paper registration of funerals will be canceled.
