One page of an Uzbek document may carry Latin Uzbek text, a Russian entry, an older Cyrillic form and the Latin transliteration from the international passport. So before assessing we look at the whole document, attachments, stamps, QR code, registration numbers and the back side. This avoids an untranslated seal, a missed entry or an inconsistent name in the translation.
Seeing only the first page is not always enough. Price and deadline are set accurately once every page, seal, electronic verification detail and attached text is visible.
Uzbek into Georgian and Georgian into Uzbek
Uzbek into Georgian covers civil registry certificates, birth and marriage certificates, passports, education documents, medical reports, court materials, powers of attorney and company documents. Georgian into Uzbek is used when a Georgian document is sent to Uzbekistan for official or private use.
The language of the translation must match the recipient's requirement. Sometimes an institution wants Uzbek, sometimes Russian, occasionally both. We never assume; before ordering we confirm which language the final document must be in and whether notarization is needed.
The Uzbek alphabet: Latin, Cyrillic and special marks
Modern official Uzbek is widely written in the Latin alphabet, with forms such as Oā, Gā, Sh, Ch and Ng and various apostrophe-like marks. Symbols that look alike are not always technically the same, so copying text or extracting it from a PDF can break a word or corrupt a search field.
Old certificates, archive documents and Soviet-era papers often use Uzbek Cyrillic, which cannot be treated like Russian because it has its own letters and forms. In a bilingual document we establish whether the Russian part is a full equivalent of the Uzbek, an additional explanation or an independent official entry.
A name is never transliterated from Georgian pronunciation alone. For international use it is checked against the passport's Latin version and every other entry in the source.

FHDYO and civil status documents
Births, marriages, divorces and other civil status facts in Uzbekistan are registered by the civil registry authorities, and documents often use the abbreviation FHDYO. Copying the abbreviation alone is not enough: the Georgian translation makes clear that it refers to the civil status registration body or its record.
In a birth certificate we pay particular attention to the child's and parents' data, place of birth and the act record. In a marriage or family status certificate, the date of marriage, spouse's data, change of surname and whether the document confirms marriage, divorce or unmarried status all matter. A certificate of no marriage and a divorce certificate confirm different facts and must be worded differently. We translate what the document says and add no legal conclusion it does not contain. See marriage certificate translation.
JShShIR / PINFL - the 14-digit personal number
Uzbek official documents often show the JShShIR, known in international and Russian-language use as the PINFL: a unique 14-digit personal identification number. For Uzbek citizens it may appear in the passport or ID; foreigners may receive it through a separate document.
The digits are copied unchanged, and the abbreviation is explained in context, because the number is used for OneID registration, state services, banking, contracts and employment. The PINFL must never be confused with the passport number, the tax STIR or a company identifier. A single wrong digit can make it impossible to identify a person in an electronic system, so numbers are checked again separately after translation.
my.gov.uz, OneID and electronic certificates
Uzbekistan's single state services portal, my.gov.uz, provides many certificates: civil acts, identity, registration, education, business and more. An electronic document may include a QR code, a unique number, a generation date, an electronic seal or verification link data.
We keep the QR code as a graphic element and translate the explanations around it. Technical information about a digital signature or electronic seal in the PDF is part of the document too. A translation cannot change the electronic authenticity of the source; its purpose is to render the text accurately, while authenticity is checked in the relevant state system.
Passport, ID card and consistent names
The Uzbek international passport gives the name in Latin letters, while other documents may use Latin Uzbek, Cyrillic or Russian. An apostrophe letter, a name ending or the way the patronymic is written can differ slightly between documents. The passport form is the main reference for international identification.
If the passport and a civil certificate genuinely differ, the text is not merged arbitrarily. Where needed we add an explanatory note or ask for an additional document, so the recipient can link the records correctly. The same approach applies to place of birth, region names and old versus new place names.
Notarization, apostille and the order of steps
For official use in Georgia, the Georgian translation is often required with the translator's signature notarized. The notary certifies the signature; the translator is responsible for the accuracy of the content. The form depends on the document and the recipient - sometimes a translation alone is enough, sometimes it must be bound to a copy, the original seen, or several documents certified separately. See notarization.
An Uzbek official document for use abroad may need an apostille or other legalization. In Uzbekistan apostille applications can be made through the electronic state service, and issued apostilles can be verified in an electronic register. If the apostille is attached, we translate the stamp heading, issuing authority, signatory's position, number, date and other entries. It is usually most convenient for the stamp to be in place first so the whole package is processed as one job, but some recipients set a different order. See apostille and legalization.
Migration, residence and employment
Migration documents may include visas, invitations, residence registration, temporary or permanent stay documents, proof of the right to work, employer letters and a PINFL issued to a foreign national. Identity, validity, address and legal basis are linked across them. We check dates, passport series, border or registration marks and authority names; in a multi-page decision the last page alone is rarely enough, because conditions or applicant data may be on earlier pages.
Education, business, legal, medical and archive documents
Education. School certificates, diplomas, academic certificates, grade supplements, student status letters and programme descriptions, with official institution names, qualifications, subjects and grading kept. Recognition of foreign education in Uzbekistan is a separate administrative procedure; translation is part of it but not automatic recognition. Business. Official company names, state register data, director's authority, charters, partners' decisions, invoices, bank certificates and the STIR tax number, which is never confused with a personal PINFL. In contracts, party status, payment, liability, term and dispute resolution are checked, and figures and currency are verified separately. Legal. Powers of attorney for property, vehicles, banks or representation, where omitting one verb or restriction can widen or narrow authority. Electronic notarial services may add register numbers and QR codes, which stay in the translation. Judgments keep the case number, parties, operative part and appeal instructions. See legal translation. Medical, banking and archives. Doctor's reports, test results, discharge summaries, bank statements, income certificates, loans and property documents, with doses, units, amounts, decimals, currency and periods controlled. Soviet-era Cyrillic documents and archive certificates keep their historical names; a modern equivalent may be added only as an explanation. See medical translation.How an Uzbek translation order runs

Price and turnaround for Uzbek translation
Price is not based on page count alone: text volume, script, the state of the document, tables, seals, handwriting, urgency and notarization all count. One page may be a short certificate or dense legal text. The price is by agreement and quoted after we see the file. See translation prices.
If a document mixes Latin and Cyrillic Uzbek, a Russian parallel version or many attachments, we decide in advance which parts need translating. Our office is at 118 Davit Aghmashenebeli Ave, Tbilisi, but no visit is needed for the first assessment - useful when the document is still in Uzbekistan.

Should an Uzbek document be in Latin or Cyrillic script?
Depending on its age and issuer, it may be in modern Latin Uzbek, older Cyrillic or printed together with Russian. Before starting we identify the language of each block and which part is an independent official entry.
What is the JShShIR or PINFL, and is it translated?
It is a person's unique 14-digit code. The digits are not translated and are reproduced exactly; the explanation is written in Georgian so it is not confused with the passport series, the STIR or another number.
Can a certificate downloaded from my.gov.uz be translated?
Yes, when the PDF is fully legible with every page, QR mark, registration code and electronic certification. Whether the recipient accepts the electronic version is a separate question for the recipient.
Can an Uzbek translation be notarized?
Yes. The Georgian or Uzbek text can be submitted to a notary to certify the translator's signature. We first check whether the recipient wants a standalone translation, one bound to a copy, the original shown or another format.
Should the apostille be done before translation?
When the apostille also needs translating, it is usually better for the stamp to be in place first, then the whole package is processed. The receiving institution has the final say on the order.
Which form of an Uzbek name is used?
The passport's Latin field is the main reference. If an FHDYO extract, a Cyrillic certificate or a Russian text spells it differently, the difference is kept as in the source and explained where needed.
Can I order online?
Yes. Send a full scan or good photos and tell us where you are submitting the document. We will reply with the cost, deadline, language direction and whether the original must be shown at the office.
