No specific licence

Private investigator licensing in Uzbekistan

No. Uzbekistan has no specific private investigator licence.

Uzbekistan has no law on private detective activity and no detective licence: a full-text search of the national legislation database finds no act that mentions detective activity. Security work is closed to the private sector, because the Law on Security Activity (ZRU-778 of 15 June 2022) allows only state, departmental paramilitary and departmental watch units to provide it and bans foreign security firms. Anyone offering investigation services therefore works without a specific legal status and is bound by general law, including the personal data and criminal law.2
