Europrotocol in Uzbekistan: Complete Guide 2026

Europrotocol in Uzbekistan

What is the Europrotocol

The Europrotocol is a simplified procedure for documenting road traffic accidents, where drivers independently fill out a special accident report without the involvement of traffic police officers. This system was introduced in Uzbekistan on November 25, 2021, aiming to reduce the workload on traffic police and speed up the insurance claim process.

The main advantage of the system is that drivers can quickly document the incident on the spot and clear the road without waiting for police inspectors to arrive. This is especially important in dense urban traffic conditions, where every minute of delay can cause serious congestion.

You can download the Europrotocol form on the official EUROASIA Insurance website.

Conditions for Using the Europrotocol

The Europrotocol can be used only if ALL of the following conditions are met:

1. Exactly 2 vehicles involved

The accident involves exactly 2 vehicles. A car with a trailer is considered as one unit.

2. No injuries

No persons have sustained injuries or bodily harm. Damage concerns only the vehicles.

3. No damage to third-party property

No damage to road signs, barriers, buildings, parking barriers, or property of other persons.

4. Full admission of fault

One of the drivers fully and unconditionally admits their fault. There are no disagreements about the circumstances of the accident or the determination of the guilty party.

5. Valid compulsory motor third-party liability insurance (OSAGO) policies

Both parties have valid compulsory motor third-party liability insurance policies at the time of the accident.

6. Participants are sober

The participants are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Medical examination must be conducted within 4 hours from the time of the accident.

7. Documents are in order

All driver documents (driver’s licenses, vehicle registration certificates, powers of attorney if applicable) must be valid and in order.

8. Damage within the limit

The estimated damage must not exceed the Europrotocol payment limit (14 million UZS).

When NOT to Use the Europrotocol

The Europrotocol must NOT be used in the following cases:

  • More than two vehicles involved

  • There are injured persons (injuries, bodily harm)

  • Damage to road infrastructure (signs, barriers, traffic lights)

  • Damage to third-party property

  • One of the drivers is intoxicated

  • One of the drivers does not have a valid OSAGO policy

  • Disagreements about the circumstances of the accident or the guilty party

  • Estimated damage exceeds the Europrotocol limit

  • Suspicions of intentional damage

  • One of the drivers has a CASCO policy (police must be called)

If at least one condition is not met, it is necessary to call the traffic police for standard accident documentation.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Documentation

STEP 1: Actions Immediately After the Accident

Step 1. Ensure Safety

  • Stop the vehicle and turn on hazard lights.

  • Place a warning triangle at a distance of 15 meters from the vehicle.

  • Check for any injured persons.

  • Call an ambulance if necessary.

  • Make sure your situation meets all conditions 6-8 for using the Europrotocol.

Step 2. Document the Accident Scene (Photos and Videos)

Make at least 10-15 photos:

  • General view of the accident scene — position of vehicles relative to road markings, signs, and other landmarks.

  • Damage to each vehicle — close-up of each damage.

  • License plates of both vehicles.

  • Participants’ documents (licenses, registration certificates, OSAGO policies).

  • Odometer readings of both vehicles.

  • Brake marks on the road.

  • Glass shards and vehicle parts on the road.

  • Surrounding road environment — traffic lights, road signs, road surface condition.

  • Road markings at the accident site.

  • Working traffic light (if the accident occurred at a controlled intersection).

Important: Photos should be taken from different angles and show the full picture of the incident. Insufficient photo documentation is one of the main reasons for claim denial.

Step 3. Move Vehicles (if necessary)

If vehicles block traffic and it is safe, move them off the roadway after photo documentation.

Step 4. Fill Out the Accident Report (Europrotocol)

The Europrotocol is filled out simultaneously by both drivers in two copies at the accident scene.

Ways to obtain the form:

  • Print it yourself (available for download on the website).

  • Receive it from the insurance company when issuing OSAGO policy.

  • Fill it out via the mobile app Sug'urta Servis (iOS / Android).

Step 5. Undergo Medical Examination

Visit a medical institution within 4 hours from the accident time and obtain a certificate confirming absence of alcohol intoxication. This is mandatory for both drivers.

Step 6. Conduct Independent Damage Assessment (if necessary)

The injured party, on their own initiative or at the insurer’s request, may conduct an independent damage assessment within 3 working days from the accident.

STEP 2: Submit Documents to the Insurance Company

Submission deadline: 3 working days (for EAI) or 5 working days (general standard).

The injured party must submit documents to the insurer of the guilty party. The guilty party must also notify their insurer within the same period.

Important: The countdown starts from the date of the accident, not from when the driver learned about the need to submit documents.

5 Common Mistakes

According to insurance companies, about 30% of Europrotocol claims are rejected due to documentation errors. Below are the most frequent mistakes and how to avoid them.

Mistake #1: Incomplete photo documentation of the accident scene

Problem: Many drivers take only a few photos of vehicle damage and forget to capture the overall scene.

Consequence: The insurer may refuse payment due to lack of evidence.

How to avoid: Take at least 10-15 photos from different angles, including general view, all damages, license plates, documents, brake marks, and road environment.

Real example: A driver filled out the Europrotocol after a collision at an intersection but forgot to photograph the working traffic light. Later, the other party claimed they had a green light, and without photo evidence, this could not be disproved. The insurer denied compensation.

Mistake #2: Inaccurate accident diagram

Problem: Many drivers fill out the diagram carelessly or inaccurately. A poorly drawn diagram can completely change the perception of the incident.

Consequence: Wrong determination of the guilty party, claim denial, or court proceedings.

How to avoid: The diagram must accurately show vehicle positions, directions, road markings, signs, street names, building numbers. Vehicles must be shown with orientation and parts involved in collision. The diagram must correspond to photos.

Mistake #3: Contradictory driver statements

Problem: The Europrotocol can only be used if both drivers fully agree on the accident circumstances. Drivers often sign without verifying if their statements match.

Consequence: The Europrotocol becomes invalid, requiring police involvement or court resolution.

How to avoid: Before signing, carefully check all details: accident description, diagram, fault admission. If there are any disagreements, even minor, it is better to call the traffic police.

Typical scenario: Two cars collide at an intersection. The first driver states they were going straight on green, the second says they were turning left but also claims to have green light. This contradiction invalidates the Europrotocol.

Mistake #4: Missing the document submission deadline

Problem: Many drivers are unaware of strict deadlines for submitting documents after filling the Europrotocol.

Consequence: Claim rejection, significant delays in payment.

How to avoid: The injured party must submit documents to the guilty party’s insurer within 5 working days (or 3 working days for some companies) from the accident date. The guilty party must notify their insurer within the same period. All documents must be submitted simultaneously.

Mistake #5: Using the Europrotocol in inappropriate situations

Problem: The most serious mistake is attempting to use the Europrotocol for an accident that does not meet the simplified procedure criteria.

Consequence: Compensation refusal, administrative or criminal liability.

When not to use:

  • More than two vehicles involved.

  • Injured persons present.

  • Damage exceeds the set limit.

  • Damage to road infrastructure.

  • One driver intoxicated.

  • One driver lacks valid OSAGO policy.

Real example: Drivers assumed damage was minor and filled out the Europrotocol. However, detailed inspection showed damage to the vehicle’s safety system, and repair costs exceeded the Europrotocol limit threefold. The injured driver did not receive full compensation.
