The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan signed Law No. ZRU-1069 of June 16, 2025 "On amendments and additions to certain Legislative acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan aimed at improving the system of execution of judicial acts and acts of other bodies". The document was published in the National Database of Legislation and entered into force on June 17, 2025.
The law provides for the creation of a Register of Obligations, which will be maintained by the Enforcement Bureau (BPI). The Register includes information about enforcement documents that have been completed for the following reasons::
- it is not possible to establish the debtor's address, location of his property, or to obtain information about his funds and other valuables held in accounts and deposits with banks or other credit organizations;
- the debtor does not have any property or income that can be foreclosed on, despite the fact that the state executor has taken all legal measures to find them.
Data on enforcement documents are entered in the Register through an automated system and stored for 10 years. Public authorities, credit organizations, and other institutions can check for outstanding obligations online. Entering information in the Register does not prevent the debtor from initiating bankruptcy proceedings.
Enforcement proceedings may be resumed in the following cases::
- detection of the debtor's property or funds included in the Register of Obligations;
- occurrence of grounds for termination of enforcement proceedings based on documents included in the Register;
- cancellation of illegal or unjustified decisions of the state executor by the Chief State Executor, their deputies in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Republic of Karakalpakstan, regions and the city of Tashkent;
- in other cases stipulated by law.
When the enforcement proceedings are resumed, the state executor immediately issues a resolution, after which the enforcement actions continue in the general order.
Exclusion of information about the enforcement document from the Register of Obligations is made in the following cases::
- resumption of enforcement proceedings;
- actual performance of obligations;
- submitting an application by the recoverer;
- return of the enforcement document at the request of the court or the body that issued it;
- receiving a court decision declaring the debtor bankrupt and initiating appropriate procedures;
- exclusion of a debtor legal entity from the state register;
- lack of information about the debtor's property for 10 years.
The amendments are aimed at increasing the transparency and efficiency of the system of execution of judicial acts and acts of other bodies.
