Uzbekistan is an Apostille Convention country, so a power of attorney signed before an Uzbek notary and apostilled is generally accepted in India. Indian citizens can also sign before the consular officer at the Embassy of India in Tashkent. The power must be stamped in India within three months, and property powers are authenticated or registered as the local office requires.

Power of Attorney from Uzbekistan: how it works
We draft a specific power in English for the task, and provide a text for the notary's Uzbek or Russian translation, checking that both versions match.
In India, we arrange stamping and authentication, and guide the attorney holder through the work.
Students in Samarkand, Bukhara or Andijan often find a local notary and apostille more practical than travelling to Tashkent.
For powers relating to property in India, we confirm with the local sub-registrar whether an apostilled foreign power needs adjudication or authentication before use, so there is no delay at registration.
We also advise students on giving a limited power to parents for banking and university matters.
What clients in Uzbekistan should know
- Check that both language versions match.
- Keep the scope narrow.
- Revoke the power once the task is complete.
