The Agency for Public Services under the Ministry of Justice is in charge of CRVS, through Territorial authorities of the Ministry, who themselves work with Civil Registry Offices on location. Different authorities can record the events: Civil Registry Offices in most cases, Assembly of citizens in remote places and Consular bodies for citizens living abroad. The registration of birth is within a month. The registration of a still-born baby needs to be done within 24 hours. Death registration is necessary to obtain a funeral permit. It needs to be made in no more than 3 days after the event.
As an incentive for registration, birth, death and marriage registration are free. Only the issuance of a birth certificate is charged.
The civil registration offices register the civil status online and send the data to the State Center of Personalization, which then creates a Personal Identification Number. The government made the registration of marriages mandatory in 2009 to protect the rights of women and children, and to serve as a mean to prevent underage marriages.
The shortcomings for the Uzbekistan CRVS authorities are a lack of legal framework, a lack of inter-agency coordination, as well as low levels of innovation technologies, which makes for an expensive and not very effective registration. The large territory, with remote living places, is also a disadvantage for the country, with administrations difficult to control and hard-to-reach populations.
As part of its 2017-2021 Development Strategies in which CRVS has been integrated, to answer these challenges, Uzbekistan has engaged in a decentralization process, while improving the communications between agencies through innovation implementation to make for more complete data.

Goal 1. Universal civil registration of births, deaths and other vital events |
Goal 1 Targets:
Goal 2. All individuals are provided with legal documentation of civil registration of births, deaths and other vital events, as necessary, to claim identity, civil status and ensuing rights |
Goal 2 Targets:
Goal 3. Accurate, complete and timely vital statistics (including on causes of death) are produced based on registration records and are disseminated |
Goal 3 Targets:
Goal 1. Universal civil registration of births, deaths and other vital events |
Goal 1 is an expression of the internationally accepted principle of the universal coverage of civil registration. The CRVS system should register all vital events occurring in the territory and jurisdiction of the country or area, including among hard-to-reach and marginalized populations.
National Targets:
Goal 2. All individuals are provided with legal documentation of civil registration of births, deaths and other vital events, as necessary, to claim identity, civil status and ensuing rights |
Goal 2 reflects that CRVS systems provide legal documentation of civil registration to individuals and families for legal and administrative purposes. Legal documentation is strongly linked with a broad range of rights and activities, in particular legal identity. This goal addresses the distinction between the civil registration of a vital event and the possession of formal proof that it took place, in the form of legal documentation.
National Targets:
Goal 3. Accurate, complete and timely vital statistics (including on causes of death) are produced based on registration records and are disseminated |
Goal 3 highlights the critical importance of civil registration being linked to the production and quality assurance of vital statistics on the occurrence and characteristics of vital events.
National Targets:
Note: This target was not monitored as part of the Midterm Questionnaire on the Implementation of the Regional Action Framework for CRVS in Asia and the Pacific.
Note: In light of recent countries’ experiences, Verbal autopsy is not encouraged to be applied to a large population scale, but rather on a representative sample. To reflect this, Target 3E is not anymore monitored by the coverage percentage of Verbal autopsy, but by the use or not of Verbal autopsy and its different applications.
