Cameras will now identify cars without insurance and technical inspection

In March, new systems “Unified Electronic Insurance System” and “Unified Information System for Checking Technical Inspection of Vehicles” came into effect in Dushanbe.

According to the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan for the city of Dushanbe, starting from March 5, 2026, cameras and control radars will automatically check for the presence of mandatory insurance and mandatory state technical inspection of vehicles.

If these are absent, vehicle owners will initially receive a warning SMS notification, providing a period of 10 days to rectify the identified violations.

If violations are not rectified within the established timeframe, drivers will be fined in accordance with the requirements of part 1 of article 315 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Tajikistan— for failure to undergo mandatory state technical inspection of the vehicle, the fine will be 3 indicators (234 somoni), and according to part 2 of article 315 of the mentioned Code— for driving a vehicle without mandatory insurance, the fine will be 1 indicator (78 somoni).

It should be noted that undergoing technical inspection and having an insurance policy in Tajikistan are mandatory, and operating vehicles without these documents is prohibited.

Technical inspection is conducted at competent service centers and workshops that have a special license. Currently, there are 62 technical inspection points operating in Tajikistan, including 13 mobile ones.

It is worth reminding that as part of the “Safe City” project, cameras in the capital are already recording violations of traffic rules, including speeding, running a red light, driving in the opposite lane, using a mobile phone while driving, and not wearing a seatbelt. Additionally, drivers can receive information about fines via SMS messages.
