A Krasnogorsk resident has been trying for a year and a half to obtain passports, the lack of which is preventing her son from being hospitalized after a stroke.

Elena Ivanova (Koltsova), a resident of the village of Krasnogorsk in the Parkent District of the Tashkent Region, has been unable to renew her passport for over two decades. Because of this, her 41-year-old son also lacks identification. After suffering a stroke, he requires urgent hospitalization, but, according to his mother, the hospital refuses to admit him without the necessary documents. Back in January 2025, the family was promised a solution to their passport issue, but instead, they were only issued temporary certificates.

Podrobno.uz previously covered Elena Ivanova's (Koltsova's) situation last winter. In 2001, a local police officer confiscated her passport for replacement, but she never received the new document.

After the publication of the article, Elena contacted the district department of migration and citizenship. She was promised assistance with paperwork, but ultimately the family received only temporary documents.

According to the woman, medical facilities are refusing to admit her son with these temporary documents. The family has not received any explanation for why permanent ID cards have not yet been issued.

The long-term lack of documents has created other serious problems for the family. Elena is unable to apply for the pension she should have been receiving for nearly seven years, re-register the apartment she inherited from her father, or receive social assistance. Her son, who turned 41 in January, still doesn't even have his first ID card.

The situation has now become critical due to the man's deteriorating health. After a stroke, he is homebound and, according to his mother, is not receiving the necessary medical care.

Elena is appealing to the relevant authorities to assist with her son's hospitalization and to complete the paperwork for the entire family.
