An environmental sticker is not a fine or restriction, but an indicator of the environmental status of a car, a symbol of the driver's responsibility and contribution to clean air and a sustainable future.

Environmental stickers for cars in Uzbekistan - free and voluntary
On December 19 of this year, the National Committee for Ecology and Climate Change, in collaboration with relevant ministries and departments, held an explanatory event at the "Fayzobod" Vehicle Diagnostic Inspection Center under the Road Safety Service of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, located in the Mirabad district of Tashkent.
The event was attended by representatives of state bodies, civil society institutions, non-governmental organizations, political parties, citizens' self-government bodies, and the media.

What is an ecological sticker?
An environmental sticker is not a fine or restriction, but an indicator of the environmental status of a car, a symbol of the driver's responsibility and contribution to clean air and a sustainable future.

❗️Important: ecological stickers are provided free of charge.

📍 What are stickers and who are they given to?
Eco-friendly stickers:

based on a voluntary electronic application from the car owner - free of charge;

during the registration and re-registration of vehicles - issued based on the results of the first free diagnostic examination.

🚦 Environmental categories of cars
Within the system, cars are gradually divided into the following categories:

🟢 "clean"
🟡 “average”
🔴 "harmful"

The category is determined based on environmental standards, and the color of the sticker reflects the level of environmental impact of the car.

🔄 Owners of vehicles in the "average" or "harmful" category have the right to undergo a free re-diagnostic inspection once a year, improve the environmental category, and receive a new environmental sticker.

🌱 Why is this important?
Despite the measures being taken, air pollution levels in our country remain high.
This year's extremely dry autumn, reduced water resources, and emissions from industrial enterprises and vehicles have resulted in Tashkent and other populated areas becoming among the most polluted areas.

📊 According to medical statistics,
In 2024, 11,034.8 cases of respiratory and allergic diseases were recorded per 100,000 population, the majority of which were among children.
Air pollution directly affects the health of the population, the socio-economic development of the country, and its international image.

📜 Legal basis
The "Ecological Transport" system will be implemented in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 750 dated November 28, 2025 and will be implemented in the following stages:

2025–2027 — Tashkent city
2028–2030 — Nukus city and regional centers
2031–2034 — all regions of the country

🏙 Ecological zones
The territories of ecological zones are determined by local Councils of People's Deputies.
In these zones, the movement of "average" and "harmful" vehicles without an environmental sticker will be restricted, while compensation and benefit mechanisms will be provided that take into account the social status of the population.

✨ An ecological sticker is a small step, but it has a big impact.
It helps to build an ecological culture, reduce air pollution, and make our cities healthier and more livable.
