The Uzbekistan passport, being the property of the Republic of Uzbekistan, is issued to the citizens of Uzbekistan for international travels. An ordinary international passport can be issued to an infant at birth and must be renewed after 2 years, next one for toddlers renewed after 5 years and later every 10 years. The passport could also be changed in case of damage or when the bearer of the passport changed his/her name.

The passport contains 48 pages. Pictures with historical sights of Uzbekistan, watermarks, octagonal pentagram, color-changing paint, moiré effect, metallized security thread, laminated film, as well as an embedded electronic chip is added to the sheets. It is in the Uzbek and English languages.[1]

Since 2010 Uzbekistan has been switching gradually to the green color biometric passport system. The old (non-biometric) passports were invalid since the beginning of 2016 internationally, and until 2018 inside the country. From 1 January 2019, onwards the issuance of present burgundy color international passports had been started. Green color biometric passport was valid for travelling internationally until 31 December 2020. Inside the country it is valid until expired as per the passport expiration date.[2]
