The Road Safety Service of Uzbekistan has refuted social media reports that drivers will start receiving fines of 10 basic calculation units (BCU) starting January 1st for not having an environmental sticker on their cars, or about the introduction of a fee for such stickers.
The agency emphasized that there is no legal basis for introducing such fees or penalties and strongly urged citizens to use information published exclusively through the official channels of authorized state bodies.
An ecological transport system operates in Uzbekistan, which divides vehicles into three categories based on their impact on the environment: green, yellow, and red.
Drivers can obtain the corresponding environmental sticker through the My.gov.uz public services portal or at the registration offices of the Road Safety Service.
The initial issuance of the eco-sticker is free, as is obtaining a replacement once a year. Furthermore, environmental stickers are issued without an expiration date, meaning vehicle owners do not require annual renewal.
Nevertheless, owners of vehicles classified in the yellow and red categories have the right to undergo a free re-assessment annually to determine if their cars meet a higher environmental category.
The procedures for issuing environmental stickers are stipulated in the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan No. 750 dated November 28, 2025. The Road Safety Service advised drivers to independently determine the environmental classification of their vehicles and obtain the relevant stickers.
