Who applies to the court to recognize a parent as missing?

If there is no information about a citizen’s whereabouts at their place of residence for one year, the court may declare them missing. The “Inson” center, as the guardianship and sponsorship authority, files a petition to the court to protect the interests of the minor (Appendix 1, paragraph 6).

What is the timeframe for reviewing the application?

Upon receiving information about the absence of parents, the “Inson” center studies the child’s situation within 3 working days and takes steps to appoint a legal representative. If no interested party is found, the “Inson” center requests the Internal Affairs Department to initiate a search for the person.

What is the legal basis for this service?

Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 893 dated December 27, 2024, Presidential Decree No. PF-185, and Article 33 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
