Nearly 79 thousand people applied for driver's license replacements

From January 15 to 21, 2026, a total of 78,959 applications were registered as part of the initiative to exchange indefinite driver's licenses for new samples. This became known on January 23 after a review of the work of the department of the State Agency "Unaa," where the replacement process is taking place.

Citizens submitted applications in two formats:

online - 46,431;
offline - 32,528.

Representatives of the State Agency "Unaa" under the Presidential Administration of the Kyrgyz Republic noted that the old indefinite licenses contain photographs taken 20-30 years ago, which complicates the identification of citizens. "These data show that the population takes this process seriously and that there is a high interest in this service," they emphasized during the inspection.

We remind you that the mass exchange of outdated driver's licenses for new ones started on January 12. To participate in the campaign, only two documents are required: a citizen's passport of the Kyrgyz Republic (or ID card) and the old license. A medical certificate of form 083 and a certificate of completion from a driving school are not needed for drivers exchanging indefinite licenses. Applications can be submitted both online through the "Tunduk" government services portal and offline by visiting the State Agency "Unaa."
