Do I need to register my phone with the local authorities in Uzbekistan for EastESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

For short tourist visits to Uzbekistan (typically under 30 days), you generally do not need to register your device's IMEI to use your EastESIM. Our eSIM is perfect for travelers exploring the Silk Road cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, or Khiva for a typical vacation duration. However, if your stay extends beyond 30 days, local regulations do require device registration to maintain service. For most EastESIM users on shorter trips, this additional step is not necessary, ensuring hassle-free connectivity.
