Country brief

How identity verification works in Uzbekistan.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Uzbek identity fraud: mule-account attacks exploiting the rapidly growing mobile-payments sector and the CBU's open-banking push, document forgery across the older laminated ID format still in circulation, and cross-border AML risk through the Central Asian remittance corridor. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (LCMLTF) — amended 2022
  • Law on Personal Data 2019
  • Law on the Central Bank of Uzbekistan
  • Law on Banks and Banking Activity (amended 2021)
  • EAG (Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism) — regional FATF-style body
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Uzbekistan.

These are the supervisors a Uzbekistan verification flow has to answer to. One Didit hosted flow + one audit log covers every one of them — no separate integration per agency.
  • CBU

    Central Bank of Uzbekistan (Markaziy Bank) — supervises all commercial banks, payment institutions, and e-money issuers. Issues KYC/CDD requirements and AML/CFT implementing regulations for the financial sector under the Law on the Central Bank.

  • FIU

    Financial Intelligence Unit under the General Prosecutor's Office (Moliya Razvedkasi) — Uzbekistan's AML/CFT authority. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports and maintains national sanctions and watchlists under the Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (LCMLTF).

  • MIA

    Ministry of Internal Affairs — Passport and Registration Department issues the national ID Card and biometric foreign passport. Operates the national civil registry and enforces identity-document regulations.

  • PDPA

    Agency for Personal Data Protection under the Ministry of Justice — enforces the Law on Personal Data (2019) for all entities processing Uzbek citizen identity data. Issues permits for cross-border personal-data transfers.

  • DCEC

    Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the General Prosecutor's Office — prosecutes financial crime, corruption, and money-laundering offences. Maintains the publicly-designated natural persons watchlist used in AML screening.

04 · Registry

Validate inputs against global identity infrastructure.

  • There is no public government database validation API for Uzbekistan currently exposed as a standalone Didit service — the Ministry of Internal Affairs civil registry and the unified state citizens' registry (Yagona Identifikatsiya Tizimi) do not currently offer a public consumer API open to third-party integrators.
