Resume rules in Uzbekistan

What employers in Uzbekistan expect on a Rezyume (Резюме), what the law lets them ask for, and where the two disagree.

Call it a CV for Uzbekistan, a resume for Uzbekistan, or Rezyume: it's the same document. Employers there usually want it written in Uzbek, 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: Confirmed.

Notes: Post-Soviet hiring conventions; more personal information expected than Western markets. No specific legal requirements found for CV content, but constitutional privacy right under Article 27. Data protection law treats special, biometric, genetic and publicly available personal data categories differently.
