Passport offices, OVIRs

Passport offices and OVIRs in Uzbekistan issue passports and ID cards, handle registration, foreign passports and exit matters. This is where people go before travelling abroad or after changing address, so queues and processing times worry almost everyone. In reviews people note where service is quick and where documents "go missing" and you have to come back three times.

Before visiting it helps to know whether the e-queue works, which papers are actually requested beyond the posted list and how reasonable the staff at a given branch are. Fellow citizens' experience saves you working days.

Handled documents at a particular OVIR — leave a review to help others prepare in advance.
