ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, January 1.
Turkmenistan’s new simplified licensing rules for road freight
transport have officially entered into force starting January 1,
2026,
Trend reports.
The presidential decree approves a new Regulation on Licensing
of Road Transport Activities, which streamlines requirements and
conditions for obtaining licenses for cargo transportation. The
document also updates and simplifies the list of documents required
from applicants.
Starting January 2026, the Ministry of Automobile Transport of
Turkmenistan has begun accepting license applications from both
individuals and legal entities. To improve accessibility, document
submission has been organized through communication systems in the
country’s regions, allowing applicants to file requests without
traveling to Ashgabat.
The changes are aimed at reducing administrative barriers,
facilitating business activity in the transport sector, and
improving access to licensing procedures for carriers across
Turkmenistan.
