Marrying in Uzbekistan

British Nationals hoping to be married in Uzbekistan must first obtain a Certificates of No Impediment (CNI) produced by the British Embassy in Tashkent.  There is no guarantee that the Certificate will be accepted by the Legalisation Section of the Uzbek Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  As long as this continues to be the situation, British nationals hoping to be married in Uzbekistan may experience difficulties.  Prospective couples should check with the British Embassy before travelling to Uzbekistan for the purpose of marriage.

You should bring enough money for the duration of your stay. Only change money through official exchange booths. Damaged or marked bank notes will not be accepted at official exchange locations. You will need to complete a foreign currency declaration form when you arrive. Please retain this.  You cannot leave with more foreign currency than you arrive with.
