Cabinet Resolution No. 508: from 1 October cars will be released from Tashkent impound lots only with an electronic QR-code permit

From 1 October 2026 cars will be released from impound lots in Tashkent only with an electronic QR-code permit. The Cabinet of Ministers approved the new procedure by Resolution No. 508 of 22 September 2026. The document was published on 23 September.

The resolution governs how vehicles detained for violations are delivered to, placed and stored at impound lots in Tashkent. The procedure is being introduced as an experiment running from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2034.

How to get your car back

Delivery, placement, storage, record-keeping and release of detained cars will be handled only through the electronic "Impound Lot" (Jarima maydonchasi) module.

• Once the reason for detention has been eliminated, the owner receives an electronic permit with a QR code and an SMS notice within one working day
• Releasing a car on a permit issued outside the module is prohibited
• Vehicles are accepted and released around the clock, including weekends and public holidays
• Data on storage payments is sent automatically to the tax authorities

How much you will pay

The storage period now runs from the moment the car is loaded onto the tow truck and is counted in full days. The previously approved rates apply:

• Towing — 20% of the base calculation value (BCV), or UZS 88,000, per kilometre, capped at 4 BCV (UZS 1.76 million)
• Storage — 20% of the BCV (UZS 88,000) per day

Cars kept at an impound lot for more than six months are entered in a register of unclaimed vehicles.

What this means in practice. To get your car back:

• First eliminate the reason for detention
• Pay the fines, towing and storage through the system
• Present the QR-code permit

Do not delay: charges accrue for every full day from the moment of loading, and after six months the car goes into the unclaimed-vehicle register. Keep your payment receipts in case you need to dispute the amount charged.
