Uzbekistan updates My.gov.uz services and advertising-consent rules
A July 2026 Uzbek government notice under Resolution PQ-265 sets out new My.gov.uz services, including virtual payment-card functions and interagency data updates, with advertising-call and SMS consent rules scheduled to take effect on 1 November. The evidence is relevant to a tightly defined public-service, data or communications workflow.
Verified facts
- The Ministry of Digital Technologies states that Resolution PQ-265 of 15 July 2026 introduced additional public-service measures, including scheduled services on the Unified Portal and interagency updates to primary personal data from 1 October 2026.
- The same official notice states that participating commercial banks may offer virtual payment cards through the portal and describes certain public-service payment and refund functions; it does not identify participating institutions, technical interfaces, access conditions or third-party-provider roles.
- The notice says a new procedure governing advertising calls and SMS notifications is due to take effect on 1 November 2026, including prior written or electronic consent for promotional SMS and registration requirements for systems used by advertising-call and SMS-distribution providers.
- UNDP’s ongoing public-service-delivery programme describes digital transformation and institutional-capacity work, while explicitly identifying access, policy, capacity and implementation gaps. It is independent operating context, not proof of a commercial integration route.
Horizon view
The relevant unit is one named workflow: the legal actor, data category, consent mechanism, system interface, financial or communications role, accountable authority, user population and service-delivery obligation. The public announcement does not support an inference that external vendors can access My.gov.uz, personal data, bank functions or a government contracting route.
Commercial implication and next step
Before any positioning, outreach or demonstration, build a written workflow file covering the activity classification, customer or authority, consent and data boundary, technical integration route, participating institution, hosting and security model, consumer and complaints process, advertising-law exposure, funding/procurement or private-contract path and a bounded acceptance test. Obtain current confirmation from the competent authority and qualified local advisers.
What to verify before acting
The cited material does not establish platform/API access, vendor eligibility, bank participation, permission to process personal data, a licence, a payment-service role, an advertising-service registration, customer demand, procurement, partnership, contract or transaction. This item is not Uzbekistan digital, payments, consumer, advertising, data-protection, telecommunications, tax or legal advice.
