Uzbekistan to replace the term “residence permit” with “registration”

During the event, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Aziz Ikramov, expressed his opinion on the registration of citizens at places.

“Residence permit is an outdated system. Now, instead of this term, the word “registration” will be used,” he said.

Aziz Ikramov also noted that since 2011, more than 76 thousand citizens have been granted permanent residence in Tashkent region and 200 thousand – in the city of Tashkent.
