Resume rules in Tajikistan
What employers in Tajikistan expect on a Резюме (Rezyume), what the law lets them ask for, and where the two disagree.
Call it a CV for Tajikistan, a resume for Tajikistan, or Резюме (Rezyume): it's the same document. Employers there usually want it written in Tajik, Russian, English.
This is research, not legal advice. Employment and data protection law changes, state and provincial rules matter in federal countries, and practice varies by industry and seniority. Each entry shows when it was looked up and how confident we are. Where nothing reliable was published it says Not found rather than a guess.
Law and practice, side by side
The label on the right is what local hiring expects. The two lines under it are the law and the habit, which often disagree.

Where this came from
Looked up 2026-08-15. Independently checked 2026-08-15. High confidence. Result of that check: Corrected.
Notes: Labor Code contains anti-discrimination principles but no specific CV format requirements. Hybrid approach noted: traditional CVs include personal details; modern multinational employers prefer more minimal personal data. Notarized translation of foreign credentials often required.
